Ive always loved the look of the 8 3/4, now i don't wanna cover it up. Looking for a good custom gas tank guy in Phoenix or what are the odds someone makes a drop in that utilizes the spare well?

------"deleted" *** is gonna be about 60" wide when she is old---------
There used to be a guy that had alum. fuel cells made for the spare tire well on ebay, haven`t seen them for a while now tho.
 
There are many better ***'s out there than that peice of human garbage.

Even being a ex EMT fire rescue guy, I'd think twice before I used my urine to put her out in a fire.....

:rofl:

But yours does look good, a back brace would make it even beter!
 
Must have been some spring re-locatin' goin' on under there too. I like :D
Absolutely! I was told I'd never fit the 14.5" wide 390x40x17's back there, but I persevered! so glad I listened to my gut...and many many measurements!

I hear you Cope, I couldn't pick K.K. or her butt out of a crowd, I heard once she was famous for he backside so...knee jerk title I thought would be identifiable. So by back brace do you mean a truss or a sway bar?

Cheers!

That's a great tip, thanks! I will keep my eyes open!
 
You know, there were no instructions and I lamented over centering the spring box over the frame, needed the extra clearance for the meats so I came up with this route with my fingers crossed!. left outer frame sides intact and incorporated with spot, slot and perimeter welds. Funny, a year later I watched a Mopar guy on Fantom works mod a Super Bee this exact same way. I was very relieved!
 
What a jip... I wasn't expecting a car....

I got a 10 gallon cell with brackets off cl. Guy had it for a while but never used it. I welded the brackets in the wheel well.
 
Nice, that looks like the way to go
I have a 410 stroker with dual quads. 20 miles each way and 4 passes down the 1/4 mile... Took 6 gallons..
My compression is a wee bit to high for pump gas and I like to mix up my own potion. I'm going to take my first long trip soon, 60 Mi each way LOL I'll likely bring a 5 gallon can of pre mix, but I'm very curious to see mileage at mostly freeway speed...
 
I know is a B body Butt I just luv its rear !
I also did same to my A body , shortened with big brakes and tires !
N50/15 on both !!!

I had one made to my specs.I fabbed it from card stock and had a metal shop reproduce it. 16 gallons ,baffled,sealed and angles up to the rear valance so its not visible from the rear .I cut the bottom out of the tire well and made straps. The pics don't show it but there are upper straps also (installed after pics). It uses the stock fuel fill pipe (cut down). I have speed hut gauges so it has a VDO sender and a FAST in tank pump. It really opened up the space around the rear axle for the coil overs and 4 bar.

I like Fuel Safe . Remember , fuel cells must be attached to the frame rails if you wish to track race it where NHRA safety rules apply . Makes sense .

Very very nice ride! That fish has gotta hook hard!Thanks for the pics, I'm going naturally aspirated, but think I'll build a pump bung into it just in case.
