Hi Archie,
I didn't want to start an argument, I am just trying to help. I realize you didn't ask for any, but I think a forum like this is the place for that sort of thing. I did acknowledge that you put a lot of thought into it, but when there's something this important it can't hurt to hear a few more ideas. I have seen tanks, dropped them and replaced pumps. While you've shown that the front filler really wouldn't work, you didn't respond to my suggestion to place it in the back. I'm curious why you wouldn't you do that? I'm sure that you are already planning to put struts on the louvers, so it would be fairly easy access. The only issue is whether there's a trunk that you could place it adjacent to, or build some sort of enclosure for it so that gas isn't spilled on a hot engine, which is obviously not a good situation either. BTW I would have not responded at all had this not been a safety, rather than design issue.
Thanks,
John[This message has been edited by countach711 (edited 03-16-2010).]

The customer came to town as scheduled & we all visited & had a good time.
We inspected the work so far & decided on what future work we needed to do to start finishing it up.
We had mounted most of the interior, the F&R bumpers, the bolt on emblems & a bunch of other stuff. Then we could get a good idea of what the finished car was going to look like.
We got him inside the car so we could check how it fit him & we could determine where we needed to mount the mirrors.
We didn't take too many pics but here are a few.

He really does know his way around these cars & it was real nice meeting him.
He did come up with an idea for lowering the seats even farther. So we dd that work & gained another inch of headroom.
Anyway, we now have a plan for getting it finished & back to him.
Archie

I have the same spinners. The owner is one lucky guy. Cannot wait to see the car in paint and the glass installed.
