Replaced the odd overflow tank with a period correct piece. Unfortunately the rear bracket had been clipped at the firewall but some already placed holes and some layered sheetmetal and the aforementioned bracket was recreated. Total investment $20 for the tank and front bracket, $1 for the sheet metal and screws.
Also pulled the header and exhaust, treated with must rust, turns out it's an old PaceSetter Header, combined with the now ceramic coated exhaust with ANSA style tips makes for a pretty slick looking setup. Total investment a $5 can of ceramic header paint and $2 worth of must rust.
