Re: 1969 Mustang race car that I have owned since 1970
Lots of hairs to split here. Fuel cell may be used. When fuel cell is used stock tank must be removed. Is cutting it in half "removing" it? Stock tank may be removed. If removed it must be replaced with material equal to or greater than the original. If he cuts the top off, does the bottom become a legal thickness replacement? I'm not a tech, but it looks like the tank has been removed and the bottom half of it has been used as the replacement material.
BTW, I'm prejudiced. I love this car.

That car may need wheelie bars/bar.If so the bottom half of the tank may not allow it.As of a few years ago NHRA required straps on the fuel cell,don't know if the rule is being enforced...gsa612

Straps are only required on plastic tanks, along with ground wire to filler cap mount. As long as a proper firewall is installed I don’t see anything wrong with it. In fact it is pretty sanitary!
