I'm glad you're bringing her on Power Tour this year, Charlie. Me and a few other board members will be in Kalamazoo in June. When I saw it at W2W a few years ago, I thought I'd never get a chance to see it in person again. I think a lot of us (especially the '67 and '68 owners) have a soft spot for that car, and always will. I'm glad it has an owner that knows that a great thoroughbred would rather stretch her legs than sit in the stall and be pampered.
See ya on the 3rd.

that hood brings back memory's, i used to make hoods for the guy that ran in the scca in a miget except we used to put kevlar in the center because he liked the yellow and it kept it intackt when it flew off the car
But I can't believe Rick's would send out an un finished tank. They should have atleast taken some scotchbrite to it...
have you seen the other stainless tanks made out there? Ricks is the nicest by far. Not sure what you mean by unfinished, his looks scotchbrited to me, none of the others are even close to an even finish.
Here's a pic of the competitions tank as received.
Charlie can't wait to see and hear her on the road!

Man that doesn't hold a candle to Ricks! Thanks for the comparison pic Jody.

Those grind marks are all over their tanks, to grind down weld marks. I am not bashing the other company at all, I've used several of their tanks in the past. But I feel Ricks is far superior in the looks department, so was a bit confused by the earlier post.

My guess is that the last picture is a Rock Valley. I always just figured the shop boogered mine up putting it in.
