Sorry, all I have is the pictures of my own tank before I installed it. The minor changes we have made wouldnt change the look of the actual tank enough to make a huge difference here.

Yes they are still available. Sent one out last week and another being made this week or next. They are made to order so please be patient as they may take a couple weeks to be made.
I have some confirmation on the marine sending unit that I was looking into. Looks like it will only add $80 to the tank and can be made and shipped to Tony in 2 weeks so by the time the tank is made it should be in store and we can mount them for you and ship together.
Ill put together a more informative post about this option when I get more info and pics later.

I am inquiring about one for racing purposes. Lou and I race together so I can chat with him as well about the mods. I would want the marine sending, external pump, max capacity. My current stock 88 tank is having a issue with fuel pick up at 1/2 full through right hand high speed corners and after market fuel gauge shows 1/4 when empty 
I have done a quick read through but can you send me the details on pricing and the options?
Thanx[This message has been edited by Racer_JT (edited 07-02-2012).]

An aluminum fuel tank is an interesting item but I would think that you will need to have the internal acceleration baffles to make it work right. With say 1/4 tank of gasoline and hard acceleration the gas supply will be forced to the rear of the tank making the fuel pump possibly run dry, and the engine stall. If the tank has the baffles then you have a great design. ------------------

With the larger width of this tank you cant use a strap like attachment because there is no room on the sides of the tank. The attachment would most likely need to be something to the floor pan of the car at the front and back. Mine is held up with only the cross brace and it was a very tight fit. I dont think the tank can go anywhere as it is but I will probably make up a front and rear mount eventually.
The tank baffles mimic stock, there is an aluminum plate welded just in front and behind the stock pump area so the fuel doesnt rush one way or another on accel or decel. There is still room for the fuel to move just not as fast.

wondering if there is a different design for the baffles that might work better for road racing ???? where the g load is way higher than a stock car see's I am pulling over 1.5 g every lap and have seen a peak in the 2 g range around the banked carousel at summit
