good idea with the coolant pressure tester. Didn't even think of that. And I can just see it now, "I told you we were going to use a pressure tester". NO YOU DIDN"T!! Haha.

Have you thought about sealing the gas tank with epoxy resin? All of that welding causes flaking. The flaking sheet metal might cause a problem down line.

Awesome work =D> Your fab skills are top notch. I wasn't sure how to install the frame notch on the rear. I saw your pics and it's clear to me now.
