One of the other things that bugged me was how the gas tank was mounted with two 3/16" thick bolts in the front of the gas tank straps through some pretty thin material. That 16.5 gallons at 6.3 lb per gallon hanging off what looks like 20 or 22 gauge sheet metal.

So I welded in some 14g that will get braced to each other. Now the sloshing can do whatever it wants. They will also take 3/8" bolts like the adjuster is on the other side.

Also, since we're changing up a the car, I am thinking about dropping the stripes... I've seen a couple of cars with carbon fiber stripes and I am not a fan.

I also asked Ben to add the 18" Budniks Jay last posted to see what they look like on the car. The 20/21" Forgelines are not a part of this and will be sold off.

Thoughts?
