**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

That was my original idea was to have the cell lowered down in the frame rails and then still use the filler neck. I just decided it wasnt important enough for me to spend the time figuring it all out and making it legal.

Are you saying your going to build the cell from 3/16" aluminum? That seems pretty heavy, you shouldnt need more than .125" sheet. Even at .125 your going to need a decent amount of force to bend it 90deg, 2 ft long or so.

You may be correct on the thickness. I do know that a tank sitting on the bottom of itself has a different load on one that is suspended from the top. That is why I was thinking of using a thicker material. Of course I will do more research before I pull the trigger on it.

There is a guy that builds them to spec for Mopars..... Check out his sight. Expensive as all get out though. Talking $750.00 or so with all the stuff I need on mine. This guy ads a strap channel to help carry the load.
