Re: 56 Chev Garage build

Outstanding work. Did you cut and weld in the angle iron so the lip of the tank had a place to sit? What year tank is that for? I've got to start taking more pictures. I always seem to forget to take the before shots of mine.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build

Yes the crossmember was cut out to get rid of swoop and it gives the rear of tank a place to bolt on flush fit. It is a 1967 mustang tank new on ebay I think I paid less than $50. here is a link wih better pics than mine.
