OH YEA...forgot about them....
Any ideas on an oil tank reservoir?   Teds Modeling Market Place shows only an Aluminum tank which he is out of.....anyone else carry one?  It can be a resin cast

  I see your Jack and raise you a pair of Deuces  8)......
       Don't know which kit this comes from...got it out of the salvage bin at the LHS...its the on piece combo dry sump pan, starter and 3 stage pump.  I need to move the 3 stage pump to the Right side due to clearance issues with the fuel pump and area where the oil line fitting screws onto the original oil filter fitting...another piece that I will make a mold of and resin cast.             
  I'm trying to get my building Mojo back with that Mustang II dirt Late Model that I was working on.  :-\
