I like aluminum pieces with nice welds. It compliments the Stef's oil seperator and there is actually some function over form too.

Very true statement. It does have a bling to it!

Looking good Rich. It does set off the engine bay. Do you know if it is clear anodized? If not it won't look that pretty for long. It would only cost about 50 bucks to clear anodize it and it will look fresh for years.

Looks great Rich!

Where does that overflow hose go? Also, wondering if the MGW cap will fit (although it probably wouldn't match very well).

Bill - I have the overflow hose going over the front of the tank and hanging down low enough that if it burps it won't get all over the car and zip tied to another line down there.

Mario - I am using the Billet Specialities 16# cap.

I just ordered this which is a very good price with shipping.

Certainly not a useless mod. I installed a Canton tank on my 03 Mach 1 as the factory plastic tank was warping from the heat (lots of racing on that 32V wonder).

If you plan to push your GT hard - especially at the track - you'll benefit from not having a tank failure from high heat warpage.

I would like it better if they did something better with the welds, maybe a little grinding and polishing for a clean look

The seperator came from Stef's and my buddy and I both got one so it was alittle cheaper. I think it was around $115 or so.
