Gas Tank Mounting panel replacement

Hey man, let me look at my car and see what I think it would take to make a set.  How rusty is the floor?  If it's still solid you might be able to just make the hanger.

Great.  I'll wait for you to see what's up.  The floor seems to be fine but the rails on the side have surface rust on them so I'll have to clean them off.  A local company near me wanted $2k a side to make that stamping.  4k for stampings?  I told him I'll pass and use the bolts.  

I found some stainless steel bolts online and will use those.  I just have to measure how long they need to be.

You are talking about custom fab work and that's not cheap, but $4k seems like a lot.  Maybe they didn't want the job so they overbid so you would go somewhere else?  Then again, they may be more complicated then I'm thinking.  I'll let you know.  If you don't hear from me in a couple of days shoot me a text, I don't want to forget.

Sounds good.  Thank you.

OK, so I looked at my car and if you were going to make those so that they blended into the factory mounts it would be extremely time consuming which is probably were the $4k came from. They're more complicated then I thought they were. I honestly think your best best is going to be to find a donor car that you can carefully cut the hangers out and then graft them into yours. You can hide all the work with the fuel tank but really when you're done you shouldn't be able to tell much of anything happened.
