Thanks.
Here are some shots of the custom oil tank I am mocking-up for Seth to build.




The tank will hold a bit over 3.5 gallons and will fill and vent from a opening flap cut into the outside of the truck.

Here is a shot of the rear support for the hitch and shock mounts from the last visit to Seth at Twisted Minis.


Some parts for the oil system, Fluidyne front cooler that will be cut into the front bumper.

Bravo! Simply awesome.
To your fabricator: congratulations, sir! That exhaust -- usually we find that the simpler it looks, the harder is was. If it looks easy, it wasn't.
Great build.

Thanks guys for the kind remarks.

Fishcop, I have been following your thread in the bodywork forum and am using it for technical and mental preparation for when I tackle the body and paint on the d.c.

Turbokraft, I am sure Seth will appreciate your remarks as one pro to another, I know he puts more effort into the build than my compensation can cover, but thats what talent and integrity can make people do.

I have been working on some small stuff until Seth and I can get the dry sump tank built.









The seat base and back will get foam and vinyl covering.

Here are some shots of the dry sump tank, test fitting before Seth does the final welding.
It is a stock Patterson tank that has been "adjusted" to fit in its new home.
