The original tank was rusted through in spots and corroded through the inside.  We decided a replacement was the best option.  Best yet, we found that the ’77 charger has a very similar size tank.  Just 1/4 taller in profile and 1/2 inch more narrow.  The fill tube is in the left rear of the tank and the sending hole is in the front.  Best part of this polycarbon replica, it will never rot out on us!

We made custom mounting straps that fit right up to the old bolt mounts.  Before final install we will coat the underside of the trunk with some printers rubber to minimize rattle.
