Re: Project: Custom 71 4x4 hotrod

I think mine worked out to about 35 gallons.
Weld the nuts.
Clamp the tank where you want it, drill the holes, then weld the nuts with a bolt through them to get it right.
I used the rubber bed pads to isolate it.

I am also an anti poly bushing guy.
I only use them where rubber is not available.
They get too hard, and do not really dampen vibrations very well.

Since a 4x4 is not an offroad race car, these comfort of rubber on the road offesets the disavantages.

I had ploy on the 4x4 before, and mostly rubber now.
The difference is amazing in how much quieter and less vibration there is.

Keep up the good work!
