71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

Worked some more on the tank. I was able to get the insert made and spent some time working on the interior baffle. After doing all that practicing I still screwed up that first corner of the insert, I was so pissed I wanted to crush it with a hammer... :mad: (yes I admit to anger issues). The second corner turned out way better and neither has any holes so I am going to call that a win.

Will you have access to the top of the tank once it's installed, encase you have some issues?
 
Ive made some headway on the fuel tank mods

I was able to get the tank welded up finally, what a challenge that was. I still need to pressure test it but I am not real concerned about it.

Well today I installed the sending unit and pump and then mounted it into the car to see if the access panel is going to work (it will).

The guy I got the car from installed a take out trunk floor from another car and as you can see they just overlapped the old with the new, however I am probably going to try and fight my OCD and just leave it although I don't really like it.
 
I've been working on some transition pieces to go from the hard line to flexible lines, I have 2 points which I want to do this. I am going to put one in front of the tank and another one in the T bar crossmember. I am using 1/2" SS pipe and some SS -6AN weld on fittings.

Don't focus on the blue hose, I am just using this for mock up. The long ones are for the cross member whereas the 2 short ones will be for back by the tank.

I don't have much to report because life and a degree of procrastination have impeded my progress. I did get the tank end transition part done and mounted (after modifying it some because I didn't like the way it came out the first time.

I recently purchased a plasma table and have been doing some studying on Fusion 360 while I wait for all the parts to come in.

Also, I ordered a new stereo/entertainment unit for my 14 Ram 2500. The factory U connect (POS) died on the Nav side and since you cannot do car play with those I was looking at various methods to fix or replace the stock unit. There is a guy in FL that sells the newer Ram stereo that does have car play but this unit is like $2600, I chose to go with a Stinger Heigh10 unit which will give me Nav, car play, 4 cameras, etc. Now all I have to do is install it... lol
