Last night was spent fab'n up the brackets and mounting the fuel cell. Tonight will be spent with the plasma cutter taking out more of the old frame and flooring. Also laying out where the roll cage will mount...also custom built. Then once the car is together...we pull it apart for paint..

Which tank is that? I have been looking at how to mount my tank. I like the low in the trunk fit. I want it to plum out the side throught the stock location.

Here is one from the inside...We will take more pictures tonight with more of the old frame and sheet metal cut out..It looks rough now but what we wanted was to keep as much of the interior as we could to maintain structural strenght until the new frame,braces etc was in and welded solid..Then once that is done we will remove the rest of the old metal which will be replaced with bead rolled metal.

Cool so far ! If you can try to get a pic from under the car from the tranny brace/crossover back towards the back bumper where it's welded in at the back.
Thanx

We have taken pictures of bits and pieces of the car but nothing complete...will also do that tonight. Its going to look a little strange though..it still has the stock wheels on the front. That is the next project of getting the front bolt pattern taken car of for the centerlines.

thats cool, i have a 67 post and i was planning on ladder bars and coil overs with stock rails, but now i dont want it anymore. the pics almost make me want to continue working on it. i have 28x11.50s on it and ithink it just looks tuff with the posts. i liek them because they are less common and have an all business look to them. do you have to cover the bottom of the cell, or is that just for plastic cells?
