Awesome. Its going to look cool.

Ron-

All I can say is that out of all the builds I have looked at online your car is just incredible!

I had a 65 fastback when I was 15 (about the mid 80's) and put new partial quarters and other sheet metal on it in my parents garage. I remember how hard it was getting everything to line up right and make it an ok street car. I can't imagine grafting all of thos panels together, you did a great job! :thumbsup:

Awesome. Its going to look cool.

Cool well getter done good buddy cause that is certainly the coolest Muttstang on the planet,,,, and I'm looking forward to running with another great winger in the Rat-Pack on the way to SEMA Next year bud.

Oh where, oh where, do you shoe horn this humungus oil tank. Wow there is really no space for this big trash can under this hood. I see why the Nascar cars put it behind the drivers seat. Ron

Really have no place for the oil tank,thought of every possible location, just not enough room. So I'm thinking of building a custom tank.

My radiator sets at a 45 degree angle,so there is a lot of room behind there. The fans are pushers and they kind of push toward the ground because of the angle of the radiator.

I was wondering if anyone could think of any reason why this would be a bad idea, I would put a baffle between the radiator and the tank to divert the hot air around the tank.

I mocked up a tank out of cardboard. The tank will require alot of baffling, and bungs, but the nice part is you can put them where you want them. It would be a clean set up, and kind of fits the car. What do you think? Ron

ron looks great
the problem with the square dry sump tank is it doesnt create a vortex inside,which naturally forces the oil to the outlet on the bottom, there are plenty of square dry sump tanks out there, but its a compromise for sure.

can you cut into the cowl and make a box? who needs passenger foot room?lol

This dry sump setup is all new to me, that is good info Jake thanks. Kind of sorry I didn't just stay with the wet sump, but I'll get it figured out. Figured I'd post up, 10,000 heads are better then one. Ron

If it helps Ron,,, I saw what looked like a sump tank in the trunk of the Cobra at Optima last year. I know it's a long run with lines,,,, but it would put the tank in an out of the way place bud.... just make sure the lines are shielded and the connects are bullet proof Pal ;-).

Desided to stick with the tank I have, and make it fit. I have to change all the down bars to recess it into my firewall.

I'm going to fab all the new stuff out of chromoly, route the bars, so I can eliminate the core support all together, Should drop about 100 lbs. I figure the tank, lines and oil, are about 60lbs., so I'm still about 40 lbs. ahead.

Here are a couple pics of the hackery.
