well good point..  but if we're going that far, it would prolly make more
sense to just fabricate an entire new tank from scratch..  because there is a
frame bracket that the back of the gas tank hinges too (you might have forgotten,
since you own a syncro now :<)  that would have to be removed to extend the
tank further to the rear..

i was just thinking of something cheap and minimal that would add a few more
gallons to the existing stock 2wd gas tank..without going to the trouble of
adding all kinds of new brackets and supports..
