"Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs."

So I finally go to see the work done and in the truck..
Chris did an amazing job...
Start with the tank...
hangs down about as far as I wanted it to (remember, the tank really does not pass the rear axle)
Covered it did not takeup that much room..
And uncovered, still have to strap it down but it is bling

bling..
I was contemplating making it fill the entire section but honestly, it did not add that much extra fuel (25 gals currently) and the extra complication with compound bends would have made it incrementally harder to do..

the exhaust is a work of art.
You already saw the front section. Now is the rear..
Chris went above and beyond to make everything fit well.
tucks up nicely...
and routes around the upper wishbone very well...

I designed the tank a bit narrower on one side just because of the exhaust.
Worked out perfectly..

And how it spits out.
My 40 used to dump straight out the back. And I would smell exhaust a LOT. So I really wanted this to have a side exit. there was a perfect amount of room between the frame and the body, so that is the route Chris took.
There is lots of room between the tire and the exhaust. I'll limit the uptravel (kinda self limiting as it is) so they will never touch. Plus, I am going to integrate the side sliders around the exhaust so I never have to worry about it.
