You just remove the cross over tube and weld them shut. Then you drill the top of the rail and weld on aluminum -8AN bungs on the top and back of the rails. Cost me about $30.00.

yep it dont cost much to do the rails, 4 8 an fittings at like 3 bucks a peice, I just used earls 3/8 pipe/8an fittings, I cut the pipe thread parts off and wire wheeled the blue off, then I used a tappered bit on the inside to smooth the fuel flow out a little, my friend only charged me like 10 bucks to weld it for me. its all the other lines and fittings that get expensive. the pump regulator and filter isnt cheap eather

Hey Lethal93ta, make sure you air pressure test your setup before you put fuel to it. Bout 10 lbs should work with soapy water. I had mine welded very similar to yours. On the front of the rails where the plugs are were leaking on mine. Turns out those plugs have Orings in them that dont like to be welded on or near. I had to remove mine and weld in aluminum plugs in place of them. By looking at your pics, looks like yours are gunna leak like mine did.
