I want to remove the spare tire well and weld some sheet metal in it's place. One I don't need the weight of a spare, two it will look better from behind, and three the bottom of the well looks like swiss cheese. Also I might fabricate a gas tank to fit in the center.

FWIW, Metco made a fuel tank that fits right where that area goes. Its made to fit where the tire would sit. I think Gbodyparts.com bought all of their remaining stock. Might want to look at that before removing the well itself. Could make for a nice alternative and a good race fuel setup.

i checked out the fuel cell and wow that is really cool. i guess i could grind and patch the well and put that in as a reserve tank. thanx keller, much appreciated!
