Looks Great! However I would lower the fuel cell. I got tossed at a Div 7 National event because the top of my cell was higher than the top of my rear wheel house. I had it mounted above my spare tire well to clear the tire i was using for ballast. Plus the "gravity" of being high up can cause fuel to flow past the floats causing the motor to hydraulic.(You can ask Wes Mcgann about that.) Just an FYI to help you prevent an issue later.
