    Had to notch the center to securely wire the new light. Also stuck some sound deadner to the roof to keep it quieter and the cabin cooler.

    My spectra F30 tank came in and so did my aeromotive phantom 340 in tank. Instructions are pretty straight forward. Make sure you clean out your tank prior to final install.

    Burned a little metal and setup my shock mounts. Not the prettiest welds but should hold up to any abuse. [​IMG]

    Cut and buff, 1500, 2000, 3000 dry. Buffed with Mehuiars 105, then Meguiars 205 with a rotary.

    Will the pump in that location clear the trunk floor ? Or are you going to open up the floor for access ? I just bought the same F30 tank.

    I had to clearance the floor with a rounded body dolly and I used an inch spacer from my old shock mounts to get me the extra clearance. If you clock the pump just right you might not have to do any of this. I wanted to be certain I had no pinched lines.

    Jacked up the front end topic on stands so I can figure my fuel lines and found the power steering ram bolts ripped thru. I planned to dump the ram at some point but that is expedited now. I'm thinking of the ABS integral power steering with a KRC pump.

    Ordered the remainding AN fittings and hose to finish up my fuel system. Went aeroquip startlite and black aeroquip fittings in the engine compartment and the classic red/blue underneath.

    Made a little bracket from 2 body washers to hold my bulkheads.

    The startlite stuff is so easy to work with. No more chewed up fingers from the stainless crap.

    The rag joint is approximately 2 3/8 closer to the firewall so that will have to come from the column. Headers fit just as bad/good as the old box.
