This is way more boss then the rx7 was. Atleast build quality wise imo. But that build was pretty sweet and I was happy with how it turned out. I get that not many here are into muscle cars but that is fine. Maybe I will do a newer car next. I already have ideas for something :snky: ---

No I agree this build is way more intense and fun to watch. and building a nova is pretty BA. and I’m sure, I’m not “many here” lol if you ever meet me in person you would realize how “unique” i am 😛 says the guy on a race forum who drives a 90hp car. ---

haha @ race forum. I could make some snarky comment about how to be many here but it would offend too many of the users 🙂 Anyhow I get what you mean though. We all dig different things but I too appreciate cool stuff no matter the platform. I have even been admiring some _gasp_ Ford stuff lately. ---

Well I finally threw in the towel on the gas tank. Live and learn on these builds and while it is frustrating at times I suppose that is how we all learn sometimes. I had the tank professionally cleaned so I could cut the ends off. It went perfect and I made a new cap. At this point I hung it in place. Fit great! So I started playing with how I was going to hang the muffler and with the tank there I just hated it. So at the end of the day I could have made both work im sure but I decided to just go to a 15gal fuel cell and hang th exhaust the way I wanted it. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1348_zps710a411c.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1348_zps710a411c.jpg) So after a few hard days I like to do some “easy” work to get the mojo going so last night I worked on building some AN lines. Fun stuff! **Big thanks to Spam16v for letting me borrow your AN fitting tools.** I can not believe how much better they make the job. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1352_zps0542cc91.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1352_zps0542cc91.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1353_zpsb4cb215d.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1353_zpsb4cb215d.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1354_zpse2ec1bd7.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1354_zpse2ec1bd7.jpg) ---

Bummer you ended up going with a fuel cell - mostly because you were so against it from the start and put the time and money into the stock tank setup. ---

Golf clubs will just have to go in the back seat now is all. 🙂 It would work fine as it sits but would have made running exhaust out the back difficult.
