I just started my install tonight. 68 Charger, stock tank, I had planned to weld in a drop area for the pump hat, as it's obvious it's going to hit the floor...

But before I did that, I got out the hammer and beat down a corner into a flat area! This gave me about 1.5 inches of room to work with. I am going to try it this way, if it doesn't work well, I will cut it out and weld in a nice pan for the pump hat.

Here is a picture with the large hole template setting in my ghetto pan.
