    Some company makes a kit to put a 32 style tank on an A but it only looks good (IMHO) on cars with fenders...it had some sort of frame extensions or something...been too too long since I have seen one to remember.

    Saw one once, but don't have any pic's. I didn't think it looked right. And it sure wouldn't be safe if someone rearended you.

    They, have a pic as well on their site...side extensions look like the cut offs from 32 frames. Expensive.

    Here is one I'm doing right now.
    '31 Coupe on Deuce Rails, with a Deuce Gastank.
    I angled the panel over the Tank out, so the Tank dooesn't stick too far.
    Got rid of the Brace that normaly goes to the bottom of it, and did a lot modifications to the 1/4 panels

    Nick O' Teens building one right now, will be in Viva Las Vegas, a coupe on 32 rails with 32 tank. I think it would look wrong if it wasn't on deuce rails.

    There is a 34 coupe of Johnny Best (I think ) in the UK, running a big Hemi upfront (with push****onshifter !) and a 32 tank in the rear (of the car, NOT Johnny's...)

    metalshapes: Did you make or buy the piece for the bottom of the quarter panel. NICE WORK!
