79 Firebird Project TigerHawk

I am not sure why I never commented on the rendering of the rear bumper treatment. I had a rendering done with a similar concept, but unless I go with a fuel cell, I can't think of a way to route the exhaust to have a center exit.

I had the idea to use a factory tank from something that mounted vertically behind the seat / under the parcel tray......only downside is putting weight above the roll centre - which a fuel cell would do anyway. At least a vertical tank would give more trunk room and give plenty of under floor area for some Vette style mufflers and centre outlets. Add a quarter panel mounted flip open filler, or modify the trunk lid so a filler/mount with drain sat through the trunk skin. didn't do it on my 71.....maybe next build.
I actually set up the tank system in my 34 Ford Roadster this way.....tank right behind the seats. Worked very well.
