Good lord...

There’s a current owner here on 311s that has done this, albeit on the brake lines in the Engine bay.

Man sweet rims and tires on that car in the background. Also I guess that'll work for a quick fix, but I wouldn't call a gas gauge something that needs an emergency fix.

I was going over the frame of the 66 and noticed this hose clamp fix for the front sway bar bracket. I guess it got misplaced or lost. Other than that the frame looks solid and all the other important bits are present. Good thing I have spares.

Love it! That piece is so flimsy and insubstantial I don't know how it even manages to stay in place.

based on the lot that this lumb was part of, I highly doubt it.

Previous owners removed the thermostat and replaced the housing with the coolant tower top but removed the nipple, covered it in tape and ran it directly to the radiator. Since the only fill point was the expansion tank, it would hold air in the system like a zeppelin and overheat on the highway. Solved this by adding a later aluminum radiator with a fill cap and using a 1500 thermostat housing.

nice one..

Got another one. I guess screws were not readily available as much of the trim has been pop riveted on. Oh my!!!!

One more to add to the list. Who needs a stinking key when you have a big ass drill bit.
