righthooks · 05-07-2007, 12:18 PM

hey if u have any pics let me see them..mines on the way

Nice job on the tank Ryos. Did you do any holes in it? Looks like you cracked the middle? Was the cap getting close to hit the bottom?

Hawco · 05-07-2007, 01:40 PM

yea the cap hit the other side which sucks, i don't have much of an opening for pumpin gas in but oh well,
the middle never cracked, but i just JB welded over the seam for some extra strength

and heres a pic of my subframe righthooks

righthooks · 05-07-2007, 02:09 PM

Hey thanks ryos...how do you like it?...
