yeah.. thought about using my old 6.9 diesel/c6 auto but bought an old truck for the 350sbc/auto instead. I'd like it to look something like this when I'm done

From Wicki:

White gasoline, also called white gas, can also be a name for pure gasoline, without additives. This was commonly used when leaded gasoline was the norm, to prevent fouling in situations where the properties of the tetraethyl lead additive were not required.[2]
"White" gas is colorless, as opposed to "regular" octane fuel, which has orange dye added for identification, or high-octane "ethyl", which has purple dye added.

I've seen this sort of thing, and had them tell me "you need to install a new card in one of the empty slots without taking anything down."

Yeah, right. It didn't happen.
