Thought I would post a couple of pics of my new fabbed aluminum front mount fuel cell. If know one has ever noticed they dont make such a thing for a 69 dart. I didnt want to cut on my car at all so I had a buddy build me one that followed all of the contours of the factory inner fender. Turned out killer. We have it calculated out to hold 4.38 gal. Havent checked it yet.

The sharpie is out of place in the first picture but other than that it looks killer. You plan on selling them? Sure beats those plastic ones.



it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Ya those plastic ones dont fit anywhere good in a dart frontend. He said that he would make some if there was interest.

Twin toilets on a tunnel ram. That has a ring to it. Are you going to anodize the inside or anything with the alky fuel?

I dont think I will. My buddy has been running alky for years with a standard aluminum summit cell and never had a issue with corrosion. Just runs a good upper lube.
