What did you do to the bumper? Pics too small but it looks like clips holding it up?
 
Clips holding the bumper on? I would have gone with the quick release kit. Those stick out like a sore thumb. And you shouldnt need to cut the spare tire well out for a fuel cell. Or are you installing a remote battery kit? Need more info.
 
Hey guys sorry I was in a rush when posting,
And sorry for the small images they are cell phone pics.

The trunk I'm not doing no fuel cell I'm simple raising it about 2" and all I will be able to fit is the battery box and meth- pump and reservoir.

And the bumper I seen the fance latches at lowes and thought it would be cool to do so I did it was about 10$ for 4 2 on each side.

Minus whale cut out the entire spare tire well, and put flat sheet metal in its place. I really need to do it to my car. Tired of that worthless waste of space keeping me from being able to drop my rear diff.
 
my reason to do this wasn't for the weight, but only for looks i don't need a spare tire or the rear window washer fluid.

and i thought if the rear diff could be seen more from the back would be cool

now from the new bottom floor to the carpet i have 11" witch will give me room for my battery box my meth pump and meth reservoir and i will be able to cover it and no one wil be able to see anything.

hey every one i haven't done much on this project as im waiting for stuff to come from the power cotter.

i do have a question regarding the battery box and fuse,
befor i started taking everything out after the car was running from dogbox i have a inline fuse between the battery and fuse box and it looks like its been burning, it smells like it and looks like it.
after i got the car back from dog box it had never ran befor and it only started it up 2 3 times befor i took everything out.

WHat are you hoping to gain from raising the floor two inches?> I did one that we lowered the floor a couple inches to hide two nitrouse bottles, but i just don't see the benefit of cutting the floor up and removing space
 
not really looking to gain anything from it i just thought about removing the spare tire hole.
but then decided i could raise it about 2"and have space to hide the batter box and the methanol pump and reservoir, maybe more air dynamic and maybe for locks im hoping who ever is driving from the back wont be able to see the spare tire hump.

this project was really for any gain.

that's cool, i was just wondering, it would be cool it you could see the rear pumpkin and stuff from behind you as well.. Toss up some more pics of the work you've been doing if you have any
 
i have not done any work to the rear, im still waiting on some stuff i sent out to get powder coated, so i can finish up the front end off the car ad then work on the rear.

im still in need to find some info regarding my fuse that i posted above on why its got that burn and why it smells like its on fire.

i did some work to the front end i feel like its easy to install and remove the fmic with special mounts.

i mounted the fmic to the radiator support, drilled 2 holes on each side throw fmic bracket and radiator support.

went back and welded 2 nuts on each side and there you go i just need to mount the inline filter i have for the power steering rack and fmic goes on.
