Al, When you installed these did you have to drop the gas tank. I have read some posts that say to bolt the hoops in you need to drop the tank.

Nope, I used epoxy, they are just for looks since I have a coupe. Alot of folks will say you have to remove the tank to install them, a few will say you don't, to be honest I don't know and didn't worry about it. The epoxy will hold good enough, if you use the right epoxy it will not come loose.

Here's another pic of the hoops with my new amp box....

Hey thanks Al. Always wondered about the mount of the hoops. I want to put them in my vert. Looks like epoxy is the way to go....

BTW Killer amp box. Did you make that? Any instructions on how to do it?

If your talking about the leather rings, I went to a shop and had them made.

Nope I didn't do any of my stereo work, I had it done at Automotive Entertaiment here in Santa Monica, They did a great job.
