Morrisun Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well this what I towed home today! After a wash job. Ran out time and daylight. 4speed with a A14 motor -No gas tank or rubber filler hose, should be interesting? Quote Link to comment

littlejason Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was about to say "don't wash it!" EDIT: Don't get new license plates! Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 No gas tank? Sounds like a total to me :P . Just drop it off at my house and I'll dispose of it for you. How's the interior? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 You can drop that off at my house & take my 510 back with you :D Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 very cool, a 1200 sunny is at the top of my wishlist, unfortunately they are few and far between in texas Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Seriously.....you are just a 1200 magnet aren't you Good score man Edit: oh, if you find a gas tank and still need a filler tube, I found some flex tube at Napa that worked quite well Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Kelmo: I have located fuel tank and would like to know what you found at NAPA that will work. That fuel filler hose on a 1200 coupe I haven't been able to find-my blue Smurf has one only because a local pick-n-pull had one on a well beat 73 coupe but, the filler tube was in great shape!

RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 make that a ca18det rally machine and win the hearts of millions Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Morrisun, I will look today and see if I can find the reciept. It is just your basic fuel filler flex hose and does not have the inner piece like the original, so the hose clamps had to be very tight...used WD40 to lube the clamp gear which helped to tighten a little.

RATDAT3 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Well, that certainly looks like the one I brought back from Salem.........must be the weather down there! Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 OK, found a receipt. The part # is 1130, the descrption is "filler neck hose". Definitly a NAPA part and sold by the foot. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 That''s a cool trailer Doug, I've seen this at a show a long time ago and took a picture to build one some day. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 save the tunnel carpet for me, please. Thanks doug. Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 David: I saved the carpet and emailed you some pics- let me know how large of a sample you need and where to sent it- it's rotten and it smells. Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 littlejason: Here is pictures of the front and rear plates. Front Rear I think the one on the front is passable and could move it to the rear but the one on the rear now doesn't look that good and not looking for legal entanglements including not running front plate. Replace with dupicate or?? Keeping plate frame! Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Just leave em the way they are---will still be legal. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Should be OK and legal as is. There's always masking tape and Ford blue engine paint. Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The sun came out in Portland Oregon today and shot some photos of work done on the Albino Smurf New floors welded in with good used seat brackets. Tried to get stock A14 carb to run right but after years of sitting the main jets clogged and I went with Weber 32/32 that I had trade some B310 front suspension parts for. Bolted on the carb, had adapter and gaskets, put on new throttle cable, fired on third try set the throttle up and it run very nice -no misses or stutters. Portable gas tank in the conner-need to repair spare tire well before putting in rust free gas tank. A good day to work outside! Quote Link to comment
