Got the tank mounted on the trunk lid finally!! No more Flip Flop for me, now i just need to order my actuator so the lid will stay up without the help of a C clamp lol. Now i just need to swap out a few fittings & then when im ready i can run the air line through the Trunk Arms. I also plan on running the wires for the trunk latch through the arms as well

I don't see the point in shaving things off. Are you creating a show car or something of that nature.?

Wow this car is amazing. Every time I see something cut up as bad as you have to cut stuff up I get this "uh oh...that doesn't even look fixable" feeling....and then of course you put your masterful little paws on it and it looks perfect. :thumbup:
