Gas tank
I want to give an update on the Spectra tank. When I last commented I had already taken the tank out of the box and inspected everything but had not installed it yet, I finally had a chance to lift it up into the back of my dart and found only one fitment issue. the flange that sits next to the shock should have been bent up and it was not causing a little bit of rubbing. This didn't affect installation but I know it's going to squeak and rattle while driving. I just put a crescent wrench to it and it folded up nicely. I would recommend going this outside the car and it should only take a minute or two. Start by folding down the upward corner on the side to make it flat, then fold it back up so that it's parallel to the axle then work your way down the edge to make it even. I didn't feel like pulling my tank back out so I just beat the last section up with a punch, it's my car and I just want some clearance and not to win shows. I included a picture of my original tank to show how the factory folded theirs.
P.S. I'm prepping a 8.75 to drop into the car and at that time I'm getting new shocks to replace these old ones.
I would like to add, that this issue was only present on the driver side of the car, the passenger side has proper clearances.
