Head on, get after it. Got the skills put them to work. You have to do a thread on building it though or continue with it on this thread.

I'd still make the cardboard mockup for the stand back and look from all angles session.

I've got a 35 gallon stainless tank in the front of the bed of my 71 that someone bult and had in another truck I had that has some nice work on it. The thing has bad gas in it now and reeks of varnish.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
