Here you go my friend:

That's the cell I used.

Here's what I did:

Cut the mounting tabs off.
Removed the filler cap assembly-then Tig welded a plate to cover the opening.
Cut off the right roll over vent tube fitting-plug welded that.
Traced out the stock TII fuel pump holder/pickup tube mounting plate in the left corner-then cut that out...which removed the other vent tube fitting.
Drilled holes for the stock unit to mount in there.
Over on the right side, I took a hole saw (I can't remember the correct size but one was around 2" and the other was around 3/4") and cut two holes...one for the filler, and one for the factory vent tube there-then welded in the correct size tubing which I also bead rolled.
Lastly, I welded two 1" square pieces of aluminum across the top as a spacer (because this cell was right at one inch shorter than the stock tank).

I also had to cut off one of my fuel outlets and replace with a -10 AN bung, because this cell comes with both outlets -8. I'm running a -10 supply with a -8 return. Once everything was welded and cooled down, I applied commercial grade rubber strips to the 1" square spacers, bolted the stock fuel pickup assembly down using self tapping zinc coated screw (removed the TII pump, but left the gauge sending unit...it's almost a perfect fit), painted the bottom crinkle flat black, and mounted it using the stock TII straps. Everything hookups stock and I can even use the vent tubes for the charcoal canister if I want to.

The only thing that you can see is my red/blue anadoized AN fittings. I even used the black braided fuel lines to further camo the setup. Mounted the pump in the spare tire well and ran it to my Mallory 4309 regulator inside the engine bay.

I don't have pictures on the PC. They are still on the digi cam. I'll upload them soon and shoot you over some pics if ya want. Does all that make sense?
