Ever see "The Wild Hogs"? It's hilarious. Talk about a mid life crisis!
That was definitely it was so bad that it was great.

Thanks. I am sanding it down for a paint job. It does have some rust nothing crazy but enough to be annoying though. The lower trim hid alot of that which I knew anyways

I'm a cng supporter, Oklahoma is the land of plenty when it comes to the wonder fuel. Our Gas (grade 87) just hit $4.09 unless you want E10/15 at $3.85 *shudder*
For me, I'm picking up CNG at public pumps for $0.88/gge to fuel my 04 bi-fuel cavalier.
I'm currently rebuilding my FE360 for my 68, and am looking at dropping a Impco mixer on top and pluming a cng system in. My 68 has rusted out saddle tanks under the bed (3 tank system) and I'm seriously considering mounting a couple of big CNG tanks up in their place and a skid plate under them to protect em.
The EPfAil has the install of kits on new vehicles so restricted it's not even funny... $10-13K for kits that only a few people can install. For Us old guys we can put together a system for $5K or less and install it ourselves if you're careful to not do anything that might cause a kaboom! Mexico, Brazil and many other southern countries have been doing CNG for decades. So has Europe. The Mexican kits are pretty much universal because they don't have to meet EPA regs! In Argentina evidently cost of kits is near $1200 total installed.
I wish you great luck in your conversion and hope to see updates on your progress!
