Looks like a nice installation... but where is the intake ducting? This heater is meant to run on cabin air... intaking air from a trunk with the early gas tank is asking for disaster!. I know YOU will never drip any gas when filling it as I dont when I fill the Notch, but someday, somebody... and it wouldnt take much... or a leak in the cap, make darn sure that seal is good. Early gas heater setups had a reputation as flame throwers. that Notch is too nice for an accident. I also bought my first fire extinguisher when I got the heater going in my first Square, never used it (on my car) but its a good thing to have.
