69 GTO Build

['71cutlasluvr]

Mike, the dyno run sounds impressive! Its going to be fun to drive with all that torque!

Planning out my fuel cell, made up a SolidWorks assembly to help make sure a 22 Gallon will fit in the space I have.
I want to sandwich the trunk floor with 1.25" square tube (grey tubes) should be strong when I tie in the original fuel tank brace. Then use 1" square tube (blue) to build the rest of the cage. Bottom will have 14 Gage CRS plate to seal it away from the elements. Will make a bolt on sheet metal top cover so just the fill plate is visible. Looking at Fuel Safe with the surge tank, I modeled the 25.5" x 17.125" x 13.75" but an ATL tank will also fit with shims.





A always I would love to get some help from everyone to keep me on the right track, might duplicate this post onto the Fuel Cell thread.
Plus if anyone has a slightly used 22 gallon fuel cell they want to sell...?

That's a serious looking fuel tank retention system Eric. It ain't going anywhere with that kind of bracing. Very strong and safe looking. You have some computer skills too. Very cool!
