Bulkhead pics? Anyone??

I am putting the fuel cell in the rear trunk area, along w/ the battery thats already there. Does anyone have any "sealed box" pics?

Google gives 2 options. Searching on the web and searching through the TGO forums

This is what I have for a fuel cell and battery box. I have a 12 gallon cell under the cover.

Who ever did your set up looks like a hack. Must have been you. Also your car is slow.

No I don't. I have it stored on the lift right now with the 2001 below it. How soon do you need pics? I bet if you wanted it done like that,you could get it done for a great deal.

I don't need pics any time soon. Just curious if you had any? Also I want to do it my self. I think its a fab project I can handle. I saw the photo bucket pics of your garage. How big is it?
