Ha ha, wow! I would never have guessed that would be 2 gallons in those small spaces. Well, that clears it up. Thanks for your help!
It's more critical with fuel injection, are you going to run a carb or injectors?
You don't have to have a baffle with a carb, but depending on the location of the outlet, you could have the potential of fuel starvation on a turn or extreme uneven road if the fuel level was low. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it, I would and usually do keep my fuel tank full to prevent condensation or at least not empty when I travel. If you are just cruising in it, you will likely never notice the difference. Just my opinion, There may be someone with more experience with some wisdom I overlooked, but with a carb, you have fuel in the bowls, so even if you did have a momentary fuel starvation caused by sloshing, the motor would not see it. Not so with EFI.
Thanks for the compliments! The checkerboard is a digital print applied to self adhesive vinyl (I work at a sign shop) with a clear vinyl laminate to protect it. I applied it to the painted fire wall. As a result it's nice & smooth with no edges. The squares are about 1-3/4" (1.81"). That size just looked right to me while designing it, hence the nice round number, lol.
This sounds like something any sign shop that does vinyl could do, correct? And adjust the size of the squares at design/layout time if needed? I had only seen this done with paint which requires extensive masking, cutting, and striping. And you are limited by the std tape widths (1", 1 1/2", etc.). And then the other color of paint has to go on, tape removed, touch-up... I think you really came up with a great solution that saved you a lot of work!
