When i built my 66' I made an aluminum bulkhead behind the rear seat to prevent fuel entering the passenger area. This is a good idea too. I never thought of damaging the top of the tank. Even tho my tank is only a few years old now I think I will end up installing a racing type fuel cell. I never liked how the OE tank was in early mustangs.

Make sure you water the inside of the tank before cutting it.

Another thing Mustang owners do is install a piece of sheet steel behind the rear seat backrest sealing the passenger compartment from the trunk and fuel tank. This piece seems overpriced. I've seen entire reproduction fuel tanks for less money. This is simply one stamping. It is a good idea though...

I'm concerned about the metal plate rubbing on the metal. For driving and use, I would use this for additional protection, but I would like to remove it for shows to show it's stock. I anticipate this product will scrape the paint in the trunk. Do you have a gasket of sorts to prevent the metal/metal contact?

Chris, what do you think of the steel plate that's offered as a replacement for the cardboard divider that separates the back seat from the trunk area? Do you recommend that product, too?

You may want to. Make sure the hose is not dry rotted & cracked.

I was thinking about $15,000 is that too high or too low am I in the ballpark? thank you for your time and great video
@MustangRestorationsInc7 жыл бұрын

I try not to think of people as being dumb, just unaware & making a mistake. It's more then puncturing the tank, it's the clean up after and the possibility of a spark from a sharp object. There are a lot of people that don't wear helmet's to ride a motorcycle, that's a choice and if they don't, then THAT would be dumb.
