Re: Finally my own build thread!

I also finally got done mounting the air tanks. I wanted to do something creative so i took my brand new chrome 3 gallon tanks and cut off the factory tank mounts and then created my own. I tig welded the new mounts to the tanks. I then mounted them where they will go and marked out my holes. Then i took the plasma torch and cut out an area around my holes so i can weld some nuts to the back side. I wanted to have a clean install of the tanks. They now bolt up into the frame. Came out pretty sweet. I took alot of pics of my process of making the new mounts because a fellow board member and i were talking about what i was making and asked to see the process i went through. So here they are. The last pic is just showing how i cut out the frame so i can get to the backside to weld the nuts on.
