Yeah, the gas tank WAS the cowl, actually. My high-school "ride" was
a '29 "A" roadster and it always seeped gas around the steering
column . . . I often visualized it ripping out and dumping about 5
gallons of cheap gas on me and the often red-hot exhaust manifold.

Tony-
Whaddaya mean "often" red hot manifold. If you couldn't see the red glow thru
the floor boards, ya had to reach over and trim the mixture knob. You couldn't
waste any precious 18 cent a gallon gas. Heck, it took three of your best
buddies to come up with a dollars worth to "cruise" after school...
Why do I NOW think of that as "the good ole days"...
