fuel tank removal day pics

heres what you gotta do if dont have current access to garage and lift, i have one this both ways now and well i have to say that having car overhead on lift is alot more reccommended, it was a b*itch to manuever the tank out out of the body cavity like this just now:

http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/fastr68/l...isc.+I&.view=t

anyone know where i can find some fuel tank related hardware i am missing on the car: the two larger front-most vertical strap bolts that thread into the two clips clipped onto the body tub under the rear deck for these two bolts, i also need another one of those threaded clips and then i need the three screws that hold the driver side flat end of the panhard bar to the body tub they thread into body tub, and then i need all the tin heat shield screws i can get my hands on for up around the fuel tank

thanks

lol yeah that would be funny, but whats even funnier is that it wasnt the fuel pump that was bad in the first place, all it was was the fuse in front fender burnt cuz wire harness across bellhousing wore through and shorted on tranny dipstick tube bracket mounted to a bellhousing bolt. previous owner cut hole in rear deck and cut all the lines up there so that ruined that sending unit, and they had already removed straps bolts and three panhard mounting bolts on driver side and some other things and lost them all and the one clip i need too.

no junkyards around here, id have to travel to springfield to possibly find what i need.

i may call dealer, i gotta do something, i wanna get this thing back together and back running again so i can sell or trade it off, theres a kid whos got a beater '83 K20 pickup i am interested in and he likes the car as soon as i fix all this on it,


thanks

No way! You mean it's not a good idea to jack your car up at a 60* angle with a engine hoist ande nothing supporting the axle
? You have got to be kidding me.
