[Chevelle-list] removing filler neck from gas tank

[William Cross]

Steve

A long weekend is approaching and you could do the following. loosen 
the exhaust pipes to drop tank. if that doesn't work you could remove 
the rear bumper and rear filler metal plate below the bumper and that 
hopefully will give you lots of room.
