I wish you would drop your body over a full tube chassis with a 4 link rear suspension. </div></div>

I think you're missing the overall picture here on this build.

I've actually thought about building a fixture for them.
We have installed a few of these on customers cars and haven't had any problems. I don't care for the chrome cover though and plan on finding an original type for it.

After looking at several gas tanks painted silver, I decided to try something different. After finshing the body work and applying the primer, I painted the tank using Rustoleums silver hammertone. After that, three coats of flat clear finished it off. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the flat hammer tone has a galvanized look.

I did the exact same thing on some suspension parts and was amazed how well they turned out.The hammer paint kills great!

Sharp work Tracy. Never knew the Vegas had the off set gas tank. Probably conducive to a better launch placing more weight over the r/r tire!

Looks like you glued long strips of rubber to the tank straps so as not to chafe the tank. Is that correct?
