AWD parts help

[Insomniac13]

I'd post this in the AWD swap thread but I'm still restricted to the newbie forum.
I've got my AWD junker stripped to the bone, the subframe is out.

First question: anybody ever fabricate a gas tank shield?? My bad if there's a thread on it, I searched kinda quickly.

My shield is shot, huge holes in it, and I doubt I'll be able to purchase just a shield. Should I just go with a fuel cell when I get around to doing the swap? I'm trying to keep cost down, and I could fabricate my own pretty easily, I've got a few friends who know how to weld and I dabble in it.

Second question: has anybody fabricated mounts for the driveshaft hangers (the studs)? I've got very limited time and I don't think I'll be able to get them out without mangling them, and the exhaust hangers were already cut to get the exhaust out. Once again I can weld, so hanging the exhaust is no issue, the driveshaft hangers are what I'm concerned with.

If I can fabricate them myself I won't bother with removing them from the shell.

Heat shield isn't necessary I didn't use one. You could fab the brackets just have to make sure the measurements are very close to Oem specs.

I made my drive shaft mount out of some 1/2 inch tublular steel and just made a triangle on either side of the tunnel, works great.. It just takes a little imagination.

Sweet, if I don't have to run a tank shield I won't. I might just weld some studs onto the straps and stick a piece of sheet metal on there to provide some measure of protection.
AWD Sebring, you wouldn't happen to have any pictures would you?? And by the way, props on the coolest Sebring I've ever seen
