Steve since when is Cadillac making fish pumps?
Just kidding! I thought my Ford 460 was a behemoth, but that 500cc bad boy is huge! the width alone wouldn't fit at normal mounting height in my truck! Your going to need that extra steel to support it!
My aunt (who is in her 80's) has an early 60's Mercedes Benz 4 door sedan she wants me to take and restore. She's had it since the 70's. It was made custom for a guy in California, on a checker cab frame according to her. Every time I read this thread I think about it!

Thanks Steve for the answer,so it is an alcoholic ,whoops, Cadillac fish tank with the ability of holding 500 fishers. Thanks Steve Stovens for helping poor old cribbled lazy me out.
Tomorrow fellas I will be absent for a day or six as I'm being fitted out with a titanium knee so you all behave yourselves and that includes you Uncle Bob.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Spent the last two days on the road getting down here to Vegas. And just so you know, behaving badly is still behaving.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

These are the hinges i will be using, The u shaped bracket gets welded to the A post upright which then alows the hinge to be adjusted.
They were setup with a piece of 1/4" bar to align the hinge pins.
The firewall has now been removed.

When I was about six years old, a race car on a trailer went past our house. I thought it was the coolest thing I had EVER seen! And I haven’t been the same since.That was over fifty years ago. ...
