Flat broke? Why are you building a car? Seriously. Building a car should be your last problem. I am laid off right now so I understand the money thing far too well. Work on things that you have already that don't cost much money than figure out how to build things correctly and no one will **** on you. I think you need to go back and look at how you posed the initial question to understand the response. Why are you concerned about a gas thank when it looks from your picture you need to concentrate on suspension. Get someone close to you to give some real world advice on getting that ch***is in shape first. Hope this helps.
.... Good advice. But, if all you can afford to do is to polish the headlight bezels, polish your *** off & be proud of what you accomplish. Whatever you do, don't give up. That looks like a pretty decent old car. JH
ryan i have all the original stuff i can take pics and send em to you. the tank is simple and can be made out of sheet metal. dont let negatives get you down. every one starts some where. some just choose not to remember. others get beat by their wives. make the world spinnnn
That is not the car to put a keg in unless it's full of cold beer ! It's a real nice start so get the CORRECT gas tank ! You don't need a tank for a while by the looks of where you are with your car , so do the right thing and get a real gas tank that fits .
I used a ford courior truck tank it has a lip around it and is about 15gal tank and has a sending unit in it. If you would like to know how big it is pm me and i'll get them for you. Build it how you want it! Nobody else his going to build it for you have fun and enjoy your self thats what this hobbie is all about good luck
man i have a 12 gal VW tank in my car, you can get one almost free. all i did was make a stand for it and mounted the stand to the floor.
Beer kegs were 'the nuts' in the early 60s/late 50s for T-buckets, but they've fallen from favor (overdone), and there are so many suitable stock tanks out there, it's not necessary to add what will look like a holding tank for a manure spreader in the back of your sedan. Small pickup tanks, some van tanks, etc. Just get under with a spiral notebook, a pencil and a tape measure....see what you have room for, then - to IHOP for some sustenance, and off to the wrecking yard with those three items and a full tummy. dj
looking at the ride hight of this thing i cant tell if its going to be a rock crawler or a pre runner one way or the other you should mount to keg on the cowl!
If your looking for a cheap tank, look into a 60s mustang gastank.. I know its an OT car, but those tanks go for little over a hundred brand new and you should be able to fit it between the frame pretty east with some brackets..
