TCDesign performed some major surgery on the car a couple weeks ago.  There were 3 parts:
1. Remove the old 17gal bottom flange fuel cell.
2. Install the new 12gal top flange cell in the trunk area
3. Create additional bracing in the back of the rollcage

Here's how the trunk area used to look:

From directly above:

Here's how it looks now with the fuel cell in place:
 
Here's a pic of the bracing added to the rollcage (I've since painted it).  Beneath the ribbed aluminum cover is the fire system (don't have a pic of that yet).  It's 4130 steel (like the rest of the cage).
