Re: project pacific wonder

just need to prime the oil.....anyone know if you have to use a "priming tool" or is there a simple attachment you can make or pick up at a local hardware store

also ive been running primer on the fenders for about 5 years....finally threw on some rattle-can chassis black

Re: project pacific wonder

A long cheap flat head screw driver with the handle removed, in a drill would work.

Re: project pacific wonder

i also picked up a nice lockable fuel cap
its supposed to fit 38-63gmc truck, 38-52full size car, and 53-54 wagons

looks like it should fit. if not i will most likely be adapting my fuel neck.

what do you think?
