Default More progress

Found a good place for the trunk release.

Got all the exhaust welded up and smoothed out. I will never do that again.

Then started on the gas tank. Made a full size mock up of the tank to make sure everything fits. I have a stainless tank made with the vaporworx internals. Carl C was helpful to give me some parameters to work with.


Rodger at Ironworks got my tank mounts and tie downs laser cut, WAY easier than hand cutting. Can't thank him enough for these.

Got the tie downs tacked in place. I'm going to start on the rear pan and mock up some exhaust tips next.



Made some close outs that will tie into the rear pan.

I can kinda see it in the pictures, but what kind of wheel barrow did you use to make the outside curve of the fuel tank again?
