Projects My Tank Project--Update

Ya ......51 and holding......no wind thats cool

 

Ol deuce!! What have you been doing with the tank.You need a stude picup to tow it!!

 

Not much going on with the tank , Trying to get a barn
built at home. The tank will come home when the
barn is done!

That Stude doesn't have enough "Power" to pull
my Tank...........and you know it ....ha! You put
your HEMI in it ,then it will get the job done!!!

 

It was a great start for a Sunday......... They Delivered the tank to me So it's home to stay.






I will post more alittle at a time today...........Thanks for LQQKn'

Nice "barn", that may be the last time it will be that clean or that empty!

Does Brandon's coupe have an assigned space?

 

Its home! Cool. In a week and a half, I'll get to see the 'Barn" for the first time. Have fun playing

 

I sure hope with concrete and other amenities this shop will be a clean and inviting space. My two tanks
and '32 Roadster should be in a well kept area. Of
course my Trikes will always have first dibs on parking
behind the big door!

 

You should like the Barn! I have plans of a cold storage
on the West side . See ya soon

 

Have an update on my tank! The fairing Rex made
for me is fitting very well! A few holes to bore and I
am home free............Thank You Rex!!!

 

WOW! Looks great! I'm planning on going to Bonneville this year,so I hope I get to see it in person.
Would they let you run it at the HAMB drags? Or a Nostalgia Event?

 

I am glad fairing is fittine that good. I am glad i could help. Work permitting i plan on heading out to the salt this year. The whole tank is just too cool.

 

souper cool, i like

 

"Bad Bob" ........ They say I can make a trip down the salt app
65 mph as a Historical run at any speed it would be fun

 

That fairing makes the tank complete.Rex Rogers is a talented guy.I'm still playing with a nose for the model a roadster.Hey congratulations to you and Barb for getting the jalopy kid graduated from college!!!

 

Ya The Jalopy Kid is one Happy Camper ! Give him a week to get out of the school mod & he will be back down to earth doing "Great Things" with his Cars..

 

Looks Great

 

Thanks...........Ol Deuce

 

Today I finished the final fit, bored the holes and
its on to stay.I will get this painted on the tank . This fairing fits like a glove. If you need aluminum shape
send Rex a pm he's great to work with!!!

 

It looks good on your tank i wasn't real sure how it would fit there was a slight difference from the tank we have here at the shop and the patterns you sent me i am real happy that you didn't have to much trouble in getting the part bolted down.

 

The next step is to get color on the fairing,Change the master cylinder.........maybe a test drive
