Today I decided to primer the tanker and added the engine block and transmission with the driver seat and the engine shroud to see how everything will look keeping in my this is just a mack up. The seat may have to be trimmed at the top or I may have to use a dune buggy seat instead as it will give me more room . I also had cut all of the baffles from the inside and not needed. You can see at the rear where I am pointing in the black lines this will be trimmed to pull all of the running gear back to give me more room.

Why not build it like a tube (sand buggy) chassis and use motor/trans plates? That's what was done on my Fiat and it turned out pretty clean. You're gonna have to add some bars for a cage/and front end support/safety belts and this will allow everything to tie in nicely.....
How about using the bottom of the tank as the bottom of the seat (or semi form fit a piece of sheet metal to the tank) and just add the sides???
Sorry been on vacation and I'm a little late to this party LOL

Found a portion of the pan head from a 53 and earlier beetle to use for the tanker to set up the front beam for the frame build.

Sorry I have been busy building VW and Porsche 356 and 912 engines for customer no time to work on my belly tanker . So the last few days found time to do work on it. I cut where the rear axles would be on the bottom part of the tanker the same for the front.
Thanks

I may have to go with option # 2 using a type 3 fan shroud as the type one maybe to tall to fit under the other half of the tanker.

You will be sitting in front of the engine, so won't you be taller than the fanhousing anyway?
Perhaps use a modern-drags-style rounded-air-scoop as part of the cockpit rear bodywork, smooth the cockpit aero's as well as ram the air where you need it.
One of those centre fanhousings would fit well.

I have a center fan housing with the generator stand also mounting in the center. I had planned to have behind me to raise like a cone shape to let air in for cooling and perhaps try to fit maybe the 36 fan housing with the dog house cooler.
Thanks

Is there a possibility of opening the bottom of the tank to lower the engine more? You are going to have to put some openings in there somewhere to get the hot air off the cylinders at some point. You could explore how the formula V's cool their engines with no tin and just vents to direct the air over the engine while at speed.

Good idea! Maybe figure some kind of ground-effects vents at the back to help keep it straight at 100+lots.  |

I am planning to have the bottom of the tanker with vents to let the hot air out. Also behind the driver's seat it will be totally enclosed so no heat can travel on the driver side. And adding an inspection plate on the underside of the engine that can be removed to do oil changes .
