"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to install the new fuel tank. Since it's an original T-Bird fuel tank we're able to use the old support straps and the original locations. We put some tape over the inlet there to keep the thing clean while we're working on it. Usually a couple guys helping out with this kind of a deal, one holds it up while the other helps you thread the straps in. Thunderbirds are pretty popular so it's easy to get a good quality original style fuel tank for it. We modified that tank for a fuel return line, for the fuel injection, that's all we had to do to the fuel tank. Don't over tighten these guys. These straps, they're really easy to just tighten and bend stuff with. Run them up just so it feels snug."
