Default 9" with bars, Custom fuel cell is done!

Just wanted to share with you guys a friend of mines car that we just finished up.

It has a Moser 9" and a Jerry Bickel wheelie bar kit on it. We found out the hard way that we couldn't run the T-Top well or stock gas tank...We run a custom cell in the front for the 1 (or 2 or 3) stages so we didn't want to run a different pump in the rear + we already had the Racetronix kit in the stock tank...

This is the result - a 19.9 gallon fuel cell that retains the stock bucket and pump assembly with the stock filler location and everything. We are going to build a rear bulkhead to isolate the cell from the cabin (NHRA rules), so I will post pictures of that when it is done.

Anyways, here are some pictures of it ready to go...we want to powder coat it, but the owner likes it how it is....we will see.














Excuse some of the wires and junk, this was during the build.

Ain't that the truth!


Cage is next on the list...just wanted to get the bars done while the rear was going in the car.
