I used a set from S+W. I don't have any pics of them apart but did cut the car like you are showing. After your done you will need to make a support for the bottom of the rear window. I made mine go up from the back bars and then across the bottom inside. Since i chose to use the trunk hinges in the stock location i had to make little tubs in the tubs for them when the decklid is closed. When making tubs that will not fit in whole i cut them minus 1" off the widest part. Then put the tub in. You then measure every 2" from where you cut it off to the outside of the car and make a *filler* piece from what you cut off. This piece you pop rivet to the tub and then i use urethane to attach it to the quarter panel. Here is the only pic i have.



Could you expand on the rear window support? I didn't know about that.

Here is a pic, not a real good one but should be good enough to give you an idea:

Hey COORS; I was wondering about your trunk floor. Have you found any disadvantages in having your fuel cell NOT in a sump? (Debating on making mine flat since it's already cut out) Also; is that just krinkle paint?

Just keeping up with the progress as i go in case anybody else is gonna do this.

Thanks, I never even thought about that.

I kinda tripped over it myself. When the body guy was putting on the new window trim clips he leaned on that and i saw it drop. Glad i caught it!

I left a hole in the flat trunk; Thought I would install cell 2/3 of the way down in it, in case I run tail pipes. It will still involve an enclosed box for the battery.
