trunk area
I am installing the gas tank and made a crossmember to bolt it to. I was wondering if the body comes with the trunk floor molded in or is it an open space where you can see the tank. I want to finish running the fuel line to the tank, but don't know if I should wait if the trunk is molded in. I am hoping that the crossmember I made will interfere with the body. Thank you, Richie

installing the gas tank
I have an A&C and if you read the manual you will see that the tank bolts to the bottom of the trunk and also the back side ....if you made a brace, it will interfear with the way it was desinged to be installed.

Yes the trunk is molded in the body, but if you do a cross brace like Rosco did this may move the tank forward so you might have to cut some of the vertical area out of the trunk for the filler hose to fit. But Rosco can give you more info on that. I ended up with around an inch & a half between the trunk and the shock towers.

Thanks for the replys, it looked like it bolted to the body in the manual but i didnt think that would be strong enough fot the weight. thanks Richie

The tank does bolt to the body. Roscoe made his own brace to bolt the tank to the frame.
