He said (Dave shop owner) he was ready for a challenge.
I didn't think he would be able to fit the 3" around the rear and springs with a stock fuel tank so before I left the car, I said " it's OK if you go 2.5" after the mufflers to clear the springs, tank, shocks etc".

installing the new fuel tank.
i decided to undercoat the upper surface of the tank to the pinch weld. i dont know if this makes any difference or not but i hope it will protect from standing water and rust. it may make for a quieter tank. i did replace the felt/tar paper pad.

picture of before undercoating.
