0:08 is that a gas tank shield? For some reason I've always thought those things the stock cars use make the rearview of the car look really aggressive.

Yes you can do it to if you just take your time. I believe the material they use is called plexy glass.

Re: Totally Random Question, But What Is This?
Edward is close. That is an enclosure for the fuel cell. A 1" square tube frame with an 18ga metal box. The fuel cell box sits inside that, with the bladder inside THAT. It gets shims so it sits in the box solidly, then another 1" square frame piece bolts to the frame once the fuel cell is in. That's the way it's been done in NASCAR for decades
