Rookie Gas Tank Question
With a Tanks, Inc Universal US2 style what is the best method of providing a level mounting surface at the back of the trunk in a '33 glass body car? Is it OK to support only at the end mounting flange, or better to build a simple platform across the back? I will have an external fuel pump. Any tips from experience will be appreciated.Roger

Wow - no one bit!!
Roger - I tried to find what that tank looked like but Tanks evidently stopped building it - so I looked at the U1 instead. I would probably build a square tube frame to bolt to and then with brackets and bolts or whatever is needed make sure that it's supported by the actual car frame. I added a Tanks '32 style to my '31 and have probably 50 pounds of steel attaching it to my TCI 'A' chassis.
This is a photo taken while finishing the welding with the chassis upside down - lots of extra metal.
