The gas tank is fine on the suspension box and the rack EXCEPT where the input shaft goes into the rack. In that location, as this is a prototype, I've had to "adjust" the tank with a rubber hammer to clear. As it turns out, it would have needed less adjustment than I gave it, but things still go back together. In kit form, I would imagine that you'd be able to do the adjustment with the tank in the car, and the whole install wouldn't take more than a spotty day. More cutting is involved than I had originally hoped for, this is going on a '68 pan, so I think the earlier ones would be fine, but I had to cut the webbing that extends from the frame horns to the front bulkhead partially out. It's very easy with a cheap jig saw. The other cuts will involve shortening the 1960 steering column and steering shaft. Otherwise it's totally bolt in.
