I really want a “normal” spare tire in the frunk of my Suby conversion. I’m thinking about mounting the radiator at the back/bottom of the frunk and putting the spare above the radiator. I know others have tried… @slowrodent ?

Well, I’m committed now!
Thanks for the comments @Chris914n6 and @East coaster
I will definitely be adding some structure back in to account for the removal of metal here. As for the gas tank heat issue, I certainly hadn’t thought about that. I’m thinking that I could add some reflective insulation under the gas tank or maybe I can fit a small heat shield above the steering rack. I really hope this doesn’t bite me later!
