Thanks for the compliments. They mean a lot as this is my first ground up build of anything, especially a hot rod.

Yes, it is a real steel car with an orignal tank. The tank has been cut out for room under the dash. The tank is going to be in the bed just behind the headboard. I will probably use an RCI or Jaz fuel cell. Which ever one fits. I plan on putting the battery and the fuse panel next to the tank on the passenger side. I want to build a removable metal cover to go over it all and hide it. Maybe put it on a piano hinge of some sort to allow easy access to the tank.
