Default tech inspect. question.

Cars a 73 camaro LS1 of course. I mini tubbed the rear for 325 DRs, relocated the springs and shocks. And built new supports for my 22 gallon fuel cell ( ala nascar). My qustion is.. Do I need to put a trunk floor in it to pass tech? The trunk area is completely seald from the interior of the car. I will eventually do it but If I dont need it, ill put it off for a while. Thanks

If you have a plastic cell then you have to have sheetmetal under the cell.

As long as it is bulkheaded to the passenger compartment they shouldnt say anything but they might look at you funny.

I expect some funny looks, but there are more important things to do on the car so that can wait. Thanks for your input I was hoping you would chime in. Thanks again
