What's the fitment like between your fat Hotchkis front sway bar and the chin spoiler? 

Oh btw, your car is awesome!

Thanks guys!   :cheers:  I got a couple projects in the works. I got a new stainless gas tank that I've been meaning to install so hopefully I'll post up on the finished product soon.

Thanks Myk! There is a ton of clearance between the two, like a foot of space in the center and about 8-10" on the corners. The spoiler is attached only to the valance so the only clearance issue I have is backing out of a driveway.    :icon_smile_blackeye:

Finally got time to get the new filler neck and stainless tank installed.  

Filler neck was a good fit. Only needed to modify the vent tube and it went right in.

Much cleaner than the old painted one. Now the tough part is keeping it looking this clean.

You're a brave and dedicated man, for sure.  I wouldn't go your route because I know I wouldn't be able to keep things looking good as your car...

Damn that's pretty  :drool5:

What carpet do you have in the trunk?

That stainless tank sure is purdy, Clayton!  :drool5:   :2thumbs:

Keeping it looking clean shouldn't be too bad. Can't look any worse than my old tank   :lol:  And the price wasn't too bad ($180 shipped) so if it gets beat up it won't be a huge loss.

The carpet is just some outdoor moisture resistant cut pile I got at Home Depot. It was like $15 bucks for a 10' roll and I just matched it to the original rubber mat.   :cheers:

Thanks!  :cheers:

The dynomax mufflers have been great, still sounds nice but not crazy loud. I used to have glass packs and while it sounded mean, the drone and noise during long drives were miserable.

I've actually been thinking about adding cutouts.  :scratchchin:

Where did you get your stainless tank at?

Here is a few little projects a did a while back.

Years ago I put on an adhesive hood pad, it looked terrible and removing it pulled some of the paint with it. So I decided to strip it all and give it a new coat of paint. Now it looks nice and clean.

Here it is installed.

Also made some cut outs for some insulation but am still debating putting them on. I'm thinking no for the moment but one day I might add them?

Did a bit more cleaning up on the engine bay and swapped all the rubber hoses with braided lines. The a/c lines and radiator hose just have braided covers but it fits the look.

And I've been working on the spoiler again. The steel one I was working on just wasn't fitting the lines of the valance so I made another out of a spare camaro spoiler I had lying around. Added 4" to each side so it lines up with the panel gaps on the valance. So far I'm liking it but we'll see as time goes on.
