    Looks good but it appears there is an awful lot of stuff sticking out the rear end. Camera angle maybe?

    32 tanks are way more visible on a Model A than they are on a 32 or at least the "Look at me " factor plays big. Black paint should take care of a lot of that though.

    Not for sure ,
    Your 31 rear shape @ bottom of body looks to be made different
    Then mine ,,,
    Yours looks more of a curve lower portion , Maybe looks that way because shinny pair , & silver reflecting making in a optical illusion..
    I do not know enough about that part of rear body panel same ...
    My tank I made EFI before they where made , I was unable to stick father under , there was a body brace , & I did not want to modify to clear pump & I was using # 10 high flow smooth feed with # 8 high flow smooth return.
    Also I made fuel pick up inside towards rear so pump did not starve for fuel on hard accelerations .

    Looks really good @ALLDONE...a vintage hop up, so the red tank is going on the sedan...black as suggested would tie in with the fenders in a wrap around like the top...red would match the rims but still look out of place, kinda sorta...it's your call. Sounds like the Shakedown is underway...have fun with it!

    Congratulations

    When I get back to working on my '30 sedan I would like to put a 32 tank in the back. I like the look and not having a gas tank above my lap
