 "I already have a hidden ground wire on it.  That issue has a tendency to give people a headache too."
I know I keep harping on this...but that's why I'm wiring my car as if it were a fiberglass car...no grounds to lose contact because of rust, etc, and I don't have to scrape bare spots in the body that took soooo long to get rust free and painted. So far I haven't had any major issues doing that..just stuff like replacing new sockets with new sockets that have a grounding lug, or having to add a screw hole for a grounding wire connector.

Grounds are important especially on headlights.

Try working a Corvette.  Many years ago I had a 62 and it had more electrical issues then wires.  The ground system in that car was messed up by previous owner abuse.  Fix one problem and another pops up, had to just keep chasing until all was working as it should.  That car taught me that grounds needed to be hooked together in more then one location.  The tail lights (each pair) had a ground wire that ran to the junction block under the dash.  They would not behave properly, chased and chased until it dawned on me that the two leads going to the front of the car looked like they needed to be hooked together.  Hidden on top of the wheel well were the connectors to tie the two together prior to their run to the front of the car.  Hooked them up and the tail/brake lights now worked as they should!

Gas tank is installed. There was nothing between the tank and car but I put dynamat on the top of the tank, put in a new sender and bolted it up with the new straps (required for bigger tank). It fit perfectly without any adjustments needed. That's another thing I can mark off the list of tweeks I want (or need) to do!

Just curious, 
  Is dynamat something that holds dampness?  How thick is it?

[BBoswell]

It is used for sound deadening and heat insulation, foil coated and about 1/16" thick. I believe it is petroleum based. I'm guessing that since it is used on inside of metal panels it has to be somewhat moisture resistant . . . time will tell. Probably not an issue since this car will very seldom see anything other than light rain.

Jay..it's the same as a "snow and ice shield" the roofers put along the lower edges and the valleys on a roof under the shingles as an extra layer of protection.  It's very common in northern areas, not so easy to find in southern climates. Some roofing sheild is topped with a granulated coating, others with an aluminum facing. It's the aluminum faced that myself and others have used as a budget version of Dynamat. It's self adhesive, and if it looses it's tackyness before used, it can be revived with a heatgun. I tested the stuff I used with a flame to see if would ignite, and it wouldn't.

Now I know what you guys are talking about.  I'll pick up some the next time I go to Home Depot.   I'm  not going to worry about the tackyness.   The fuel tank and straps will hold it in

I am looking for a gas tank for my 64 Galaxie and did a search on the web site to see who somebody here recommended. I see Classic City  Auto, but I think you are talking about Auto City Classic.   Am I right   I have the 64 parked on a lift with my 57 Fairlane under it and noticed a drop hanging from the tank last week,    Please let me know,          thanks, Mark

Sounds like something I'd do....yep, you are correct.
