Happy New Year everyone. Nothing like redesigning a quarter of the car to install a vintage Trans Am dry sump tank. The tank sits in the passenger torque box and then the fill goes through the fire wall into the engine compartment. So I cut apart the box,cowl and firewall until it fit(this was in a 71 Bud Moore Mustang the same way). After that I put the torque box back together buy welding the floor to the out side of the frame rail and finishing it. Then made a 1/8" boxing plate for the inside of the box so I have a place to mount the foot plate for the cage bars and then boxed in the front so it is straight so the tank fits in. Then I modified a set of Peterson 9" tank mounts to strap the tank in place. I also had to add plate to reinforce the firewall so I had places to bolt the aluminum tank brackets which I also cut apart from the original Peterson mount............now back to the trunk to install the battery box and build the fuel fill.
