1954 Chevy Belair Trunk Build


Recommended Posts

My New tank. I decided to do a single Tank… you’ll see why…

My original plan was to run hardlines like this...

But money is kinda tight, so i decided to flip the tank so you wont see any hose/lines..

but come to find out that if i ran the hose from underneath, my gas tank got in the way...... SOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I decided to flip the tank around again, and came up with this... it clears the tank perfectly...

And i decided to put plexiglass mirror on the bottom of the box just because..
