Awesome! I had some oil starvation issues on certain autox courses so I looked into making a custom dry sump setup for my car but it was out of my price range and I wasn't sure that i could pull off building it properly so I'm going with an Accusump.

Started working on the dry sump tank, only have a fairly small area to work in so it the radius had to be rather small which isn't bad. I reluctantly cut up a Peterson tank to get some ideas, to be honest they are a very basic cheap tank. Back to square one. Even more reluctantly i cut up a "roush" sprint cup tank, we hit an all new ball game. What an amazing tank inside. So that is the base plans for the hyundai's tank.

So when do you think that it's going to be ready to roll onto a track?

They both look great, but I'm gonna go with the gray one as well.
