Hi there ,if you pull the back hump down really tight it should fit nice into the groove, a bit of flexing the plastic should be fine, your line at the rear neck is nice and accurate but try to keep the line as high above the hump as the shape will allow, good luck.

The top is fine really, unless you want it perfectly symmetrical. As for the bottom, Jeff from SC told me that at the most you could trim about 1/4" off the side with more material. Oh, and don't forget to paint that rivet on the bottom of the tank white.

Yeah when i put the tank on the mold under the tank seemed to be slightly to big so when i tryed to stretch it the tank would not cover the under neath mold so i rivited it into the dip as much as i could but still have more dip so thats why i need to trim it scary stuff ah!
