Awwww yeah. Welcome to the Pig Party! You now have a moveable, drivable, fixable, piggy bank that will happily accept all of your loose change and then some. You’re going to love it.
Sick piggy and big props for getting after it on all of the repairs and bodywork! Don't want to burst your 1978 bubble here but I think your piggy is older than 1978. 78' is when they went to the taller rear tail lights. Unless they switched mid-year (which they could have, I'm not the most...
Hard to show without the part but the repair manual shows it pretty well. I do think it was the return line that let loose. Tank was 3/4 full. I opened up the gas cap to relieve some pressure which helped also.

Jim Chenoweth is rebuilding and refreshing a carb for her
@RLMS is going to install that...
A few things:
1. Holy fab work! I know absolutely nothing about working with metal and seeing this just makes me proud of the time and effort that went into the project. Respect!
2. Your $, your vision. Period. Lighten up! Can't wait to see what the reactions are when I take my piggy full...
