Looks great - except for that fuel filter

. I had one of those on my '69 at one time. While the car was parked at the body shop the rubber o-rings in the end caps dried out. You can see when the fuel filter will empty if you let the car sit for any length of time. When I fired the engine up to return home, the fuel started pumping out of the filter end caps all over the place. I was lucky because I saw the gas puddle trail on the ground when I backed out of the garage. If I had not seen it, the car would likely have burned to a total loss. :(
Just expressing my concern.
