    I'll call "AAA"

    That WONDERFUL feeling, when you're driving down Highway 1, heading home, and the project is pretty much done

    Finished the surround with a new piece of 1/4", I need to locate some vinyl to cover with. Put some last touches on the topside of the steel can before it's welded in place, (i welded in some corners)

    RCI aluminum cell, 20" x 24", 10" deep from Summit. Custom fabbed 12 gauge steel can, with the same 12 gauge steel for the areas surrounding the cell. .065 wall 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" rectangular tubing for the structural bracing

    The exhaust will run along side of the fuel cell on the driver side. I need to notch out the skirt just below the bumper, (kinda like the factory center/right cut-out)
  6. Doug Riparetti
    I will also be using the boot that attaches to the tank/gas-cap, that's how I'm venting the cell, (trying to avoid gas fumes in the trunk)

    I've spent a lot of time attending car events over the past 2-years, must are some times 2 to 2-1/2 hours away. Getting between 160 to 180 miles to a tank, I was ready for another challenge and project, an a 20-gallon fuel cell gave me the range that I was looking for. Here are the final photos of the completed project

    Thank you "bianchini", I just got home from dropping it off my transmission, (it was only 87-miles from the race car shop, about 2-hours). Should have it back by January 8th, (because of the Holidays and the short work weeks ahead)

    Thank you. How long ago bianchini? How much did it cost?

    I installed Miata seats, because I got them for free. My buddy had them in a "55",Chevy, he did not like the way they looked. I made adapters so I could mount them to the existing "02",seat mounts, but I sat too high. So I cut out the existing seat mounts, and welded 1-1/4" square tubing to the floor pan.

    The same set-up that I had when running "Circle Track". This is the set-up my Brother is running right now at Meridian Speedway in Idaho, 4-44mm Mikuni "Round-slide" motorcycle carbs. I'm installing 4-38mm Mikuni "Round-slide" motorcycle carbs. I have 2 of the 38's mated to the Lynx right now. I'm still not at all happy with that manifold
