Yeah, NO cracks in the dash, and seatbelt sleeves are perfect.

Looks like that bird has potential. Interior looks like it will clean up well. Found any major mechanical issues yet?

It leaks gas, haven't gotten around to determine if it's a line, or the tank.

Fuel neck gromet or the little one on the top of the tank maybe too. could be as simple as that.

Just checked again, it leaks when the pump primes, or when it's running. You would think if it was a hole in the tank, that it would leak constantly.

Paint is in bad shape on the hood, roof, and trunk lid.

maybe your right then. i had a mustang that did that, but i noticed when i topped it off was the only time it really did it. if thats the case, its probably a gasket. otherwise, you may indeed be looking at a fuel line. i guess for 20 yo cars, we can expect some paint issues lol. mine was awful

i doubt theres a hole in the tank, if its leaking bad enough you may see gas covering the bottom and running off though.

Congratulations on the Tbird it looks nice and the fuel leak will probably turn out to be something simple.
