In my 31 coupe build, it’ll have a gas tank in the trunk. There’ll be a firewall between the p***enger compartment. I was looking at tanks by Tanks.com. I was at an estate sale this weekend and got this aluminum tank for free. It works out to 11.45 gallons, it’s all 1/4” thick aluminum and they originally built it as a tig cooling tank, so it’s never had gas in it. There’s no baffles in it. I was going to seal it up and pressure test it. It it checks out good, I can cut the holes in the top for sending unit and pickup. Is there any downfalls to this.
Also got this Delta drill press. They had this 54 Chevy pickup that their going to sell, Nova sub, rebuilt 350 with turbo 350.
I have a 13 gallon tank in my truck and it gets 20 mpg. Holding back a few gallons in reserve still gives me at least a 200 mile range - which is longer than my bladder can take. That’s still a good size for long trips.
