Not much, replace it with a flat aluminum sheet.

Not much, I chopped it out of mine to install a trailer hitch I never used.

Yep easy to cut out and replace, I did a metal plate and added some framing to help support the 20 gal cell in my trunk of my 67 dart.

Cut ours out and used a sheet of aluminum. I welded two pieces of 1.5" tubing between the frame rails and used a 68 Ford Falcon/Mustang tank,and it worked perfect.

Can you post a pic of your push pull switch Mopar matt? Getting ready to do it in my car. Sure here you go. Course doing this is did one thing I've never done before, I locked the keys in the trunk after the pictures lol had to remove the firewall between the trunk and passenger compartment lol its all good glad I got them out. Here's also the frame is added to help support.

OP, the spare tire well does not weigh a whole lot more than alum., unless it's caked with undercoating. Can you post a pic of your push pull switch Mopar matt? Getting ready to do it in my car. The handle for this push/pull switch exits through the glass bumper.

The handle for this push/pull switch exits through the glass bumper. That's interesting as I am just switching a electronic switch, my battery is in front of car. Could stay below the trunk. Hate to drill through my glass bumpers as they were just painted.

Insane paint in WI did mine, a little pricey but I like it! Looks like real chrome. Don

I don't think you need a master cut off switch mounted at the rear of a race car on any car that has the battery in the stock location  I feel it is in my best interest to have one on my car with a electric fuel pump. In case I crash and have a fire would be best for me and Saftey crews if a 500 gph pump isn't running.

They are painted in a multiple step process. I had many issues with the shop who painted and will not refer him or his shop to anyone.
