[QUOTE="1967eleanor, post: 12862515, member: 32170"] While I was home for spring break I decided to address one of the last cosmetic things on the car that had been bothering me. The stock stamped steel gas tank, it was a ribbed galvanized silverish kinda uglyness. Its not seen too much due to how low the car is but it was still out of place in my opinion.

However after doing some research I found that the fuel safe brand tanks used on the movie cars ran about $1500. Which would be fine except that the bladders need to be replaced every 5 years or so and run about 1000-1200 to replace when they do go, In addition it would need to be modified to work with my fuel system.
