We have installed a few of these on customers cars and haven't had any problems. I don't care for the chrome cover though and plan on finding an original type for it.

Re: Day 2 Vega
After looking at several gas tanks painted silver, I decided to try something different. After finshing the body work and applying the primer, I painted the tank using Rustoleums silver hammertone. After that, three coats of flat clear finished it off. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the flat hammer tone has a galvanized look.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Sharp work Tracy. Never knew the Vegas had the off set gas tank. Probably conducive to a better launch placing more weight over the r/r tire!

Re: Day 2 Vega
Looks like you glued long strips of rubber to the tank straps so as not to chafe the tank. Is that correct?
