Another job well done. You still have room for a picnic basket and a suitcase. Good choice going with a new tank rather than your normal "crusty" material. Like your four legged helper.
Nice job. You gonna put a grommet or some kind of rubber boot around the hole in the floor for the fuel line. Looks like an accident asking to happen. Getting there. Look forward to seeing more on Dad's daily. Am sure he's getting anxious to drive it. Be safe and stay well.
I'm surprised you didn't run the old neck out thru the top of the quarter with a filler neck grommet around the hole and the cap externally mounted. Easy filling and traditional looking.
That was a very, very common location for channeled hot rods including my own 31 AV8 roadster and I never heard of that being a problem. A few small drops off of the gas nozzle after filling that I wiped off but nothing near a gas spill as you mentioned.
Take a big hammer and make the area around the gas gage insert FLAT. That way you will have a seal and the electrical connections will be a bit lower away from shorting out on the deck lid. Just a suggestion.
My gastank is in the same place. But its a rectangle, I made it, it holds 15 gallons. I still carry a spare gas can in the trunk. Don't want to run out of gas on the road.
I suggest a welded in recessed cup made from stainless exhaust tubing/plate for the sender flat gasket seating surface to seal on. you have the skills to do it right the first time. Flat mating surface on curved tank surface even with extra thick gasket will not seal properly most likely. Enjoying your videos and work.
Hey Matt, just curious: Will you add a grommet, bushing, something around the fuel line that goes through the floor to keep it from getting cut on the metal?
Matt you mentioned that the fuel pump should point slightly up hill but you didnt say which direction. Could you clarify? Should the front or rear be slightly up hill. Thanks for sharing all the little tips like that with us
Do you have any concerns of not having the tank separated from the passengers? I am planning to add a fuel tanked "frenched" into the rear trunk pan, between the frame rails, but there will be no physical barrier between it and passengers and it has me a bit concerned. I will also be running a vent tube to the exterior of the car and hoping that will mitigate any fuel smell inside the car. Your thoughts?
Hi irontap garage wanted to ask u what’s in ur 1934 Ford Tudor for a engine also what do u have on it for exhausts and is it a 4 speed Manuel transmission
I'd have rumble seat hinged the trunk lid and relieved its inner panel to mis the gas cap. I would also have installed a shallow stainless spill tray under the tank with its own drain to the ground. I'd have done all that if I had even a fraction of your skills, tools, etc.
@@jongolliher4280 With respect, a lid hinged in back could be handy with a V8 engine and a ten-gallon tank whose filler neck is wedged under the back window. Add to that the fact that the remaining trunk is so small you'll be opening that lid a lot but for only one purpose. Maybe the spill tray was a silly idea and there's a better way to keep gas fumes out the interior.
@@frankhartranft2133 I see what you are saying and I respect that Frank. I'm simply expressing the opinion that I formed when addressing exactly the same question when building my own 31 AV8 roadster. The only difference was my tank was square rather than round. Mine was originally a rumble seat lid. After a couple days trying to decide I could see that it was worth the extra work to hinge the lid at the front. I always had stuff on the floor in the back and was happy to have the space more usable than if I had hinged it at the rear. That was just my result and would urge others to give it lots of thought for themselves. Thanks for your point of view and have a great evening!

Like your four legged helper.
You got that right! Sometimes its original worn look doesn't fit with a new floor pan under it, especially where fuel is involved👍🏼
The Schroll coupe is really turning out to be a great example of a vintage race car. Awesome job Matt.
Not racecar, hot rod!!
Damn,That Tank looks so clean in there 👌🏽awsome job fitting it in there
Fits right in.... eventually!
its always a good day when i get to watch another newvideo from iron trip out gerage
You did a great job on that tank Matt! It's so shiny and new looking like the floor and contrasts nicely with the original patina on the coupe.
Matt has birthday party. Strippers arrive. Ie: Naval jelly, Rust-Eeze, molasses, citric acid, vinegar, & sand blasting. 🙃
Nice and clean work, as always. Good job, Matt. Greetings from Brazil.
Nice. Looks very professional.

That coupe is going to be so cool when you get it finished. Just leave the paint just like it is now.
Awesome install.
Worked out beautifully indeed. Good work.
Great creative fabrication Matt.
That is just how the tank is mounted in my car. only difference is fill cap is on the right side of car. Nice work
There is just something about stainless steel fabricated parts that makes them really stand out!
My Sunday morning fix!
Professional..in every way.....nice !
I'm surprised you didn't run the old neck out thru the top of the quarter with a filler neck grommet around the hole and the cap externally mounted. Easy filling and traditional looking.
That all went down very well Matt! No need for old and worn where fuel is concerned!👍🏼
I really like the music around 11:00
Nice work. The one thing I would worry about is if any gas spills then you have trapped inside.

@@jongolliher4280 ok thanks. Guess I think of that when coming from an environmental business. I seen some things.
@@crusherj3535 Oh, I understand, Thanks!
Nice job..looks great.
I like Steves idea!
Looks great Matt, and it will do the job, thanks for the video
Another victory for IRON TRAP COACH WORKS!!!!!!!!
GREAT JOB MATT!! THIS CAR IS COMING ALONG!!
Great work, look good sitting in there.

Great look! Just found an early T speedster tank for my '31 coupe.
I was kinda hoping you were going to make some bomber seats for this one. I sure it will all be great when finished.
You did a great job on it and keep up the good work okay
I love the smell of varnished gas in the morning... It smells like,,, victory.
Great job as usual Matt 👍😎
My gastank is in the same place. But its a rectangle, I made it, it holds 15 gallons. I still carry a spare gas can in the trunk. Don't want to run out of gas on the road.
Seeing this I was curious about the fill neck and it height for venting? Would it being closed under the trunk lid be an issue with fumes?
Looks great! really like this install.

How/where does the tank vent ?
is that an Eastwood bench shear @ 10:30?
Like you said, perfect for the car! Nice work!
How short into the tank is your vent line? I think it would siphon fuel overboard when it's full.
Hey Matt, just curious: Will you add a grommet, bushing, something around the fuel line that goes through the floor to keep it from getting cut on the metal?
My thought exactly. I was gonna just post it but knowing there are sharp eyed cats like you, i had to look first. Great looking out! 👍🏼
@@raylarkin5004 I thought the same thing but thought Matt would do that when finishing up. Definitely something should be there.
Nice work Matt
Nice work as usual. What kind of fuel pump is that?
Well... It looks beautiful!
Stock 32 was around 11 gallon...
Matt you mentioned that the fuel pump should point slightly up hill but you didnt say which direction. Could you clarify? Should the front or rear be slightly up hill. Thanks for sharing all the little tips like that with us
I wonder, if you lowered the trunk floor behind the rear axle, down towards the tail, could you fit a spare tire in there?
Toilet tank gaskets should be the right size and will conform and squish to conform ... if they hold up to the gas.
I was assuming that the filler neck was going through the deck lid or the filler panel between the deck lid and the roof.

Hey Matt, as usual a typical installation, in my days of building rods, nothing fits correctly, even the supposedly "bolt in" stuff.....GOD BLESS!!!
In Australia the fuel filler must be external on the car and must be sealed from inside. Its a pain in the neck.
Looks good

A trunk lid hinged like a rumble seat lid would be a pain and no reason for a fancy drip tray underneath unless you would be spaced out when filling.

Sweet as .as usual
good job man!👍💪
Damn use some stainless tubing for the neck. That old rust neck just doesn't look right. What color are you going to paint the filler neck?
Hi matt now you have them truck and van parts you can change all you rods into van ,s 😜
ya thats a really nice ass tank
That tank is too nice for that car use that tank in the 30 roaster sweetheart showrod
If you take the fuel tank to a radiator repair shop and get it vatted it will come out looking like new.
hi thr gas tank look good
need a hand? more like need a blade! that sawzall blade was roached!
Put the tank in from the interior side!
You need to buy tubing bender from ECI there is nothing else on the market like them.
your so good
Bolt a tool box in
W
Just drill a hole in the deck lid with a grommet
Ha ha ha ha! “Not that Tank” ha ha ha!
Did I hear " birthday week"? Enjoy
I wouldn't of bother putting a sender in it
Can't have a dead gauge on the dash!
I would take a chance with no spare tire and feel safe but not chance running out of gas.
who would try to utilize a crusty old mild steel neck on a stainless tank , you are not becoming better at this ! Clue , slick up your act.
