Hey whats that tank under the passanger fender?

Its "stock" surge tank. That part is a small story of it self... My idea was to have stock looking tank without any factory markings and hose ends. I didnt liked the stock mounting system either.So i contact well known corvette repro tank builder and just asked him to leave all stampings and hose ends off.Just sell me bare halfs to me. That just what he did but because it was a "custom" i had to pay over price of it :eek: He didnt need to finish it all and got more money of it :rofl: Well .. He got my money twice;first and last.

But anyway now it has correct AN8 weld on ends , billet mounting bad and inverse 6 an overflow tube.

Heres the stock tank:

And "custom" mady by me :lol:
