Source for large capacity A-body Gas tank?

-
Nothing is more stock looking than stock. If you intall a flat trunk floor and modify the hanger locations, a stock 71 Charger fuel tank should fit. I changed the filler location on my Dart to behind the license plate instead of in the quarter panel. This may not work in the Demon, you may have to relocate the tank's fuel filler opening to the top to match the Demon's filler neck. It's 20 gallons, not 22 - 25, but if you can live with that it's a nice swap.

I first fabbed a couple of rails to accept the stock 71 Charger straps

Tank installed and fits like a glove. Fuel filler will now be behind a hinged license plate.

Even with the springs moved in there's still plenty of room for tailpipes...

When the car is done, no one but a few observant Mopar guys will be able to tell. To everyone else it will look like the car came this way.


old topic but i just saw it and have to say this is a very good idea. looks like it works perfect for mini tubbed cars that want a stockish looking appearance. would like to see more photos of how it looks from the back. is the tank very noticeable?
