He does look rather distinguished...

I like it!!

The 1st iteration of the Phoenix Project live from the House of Haase in its' 2nd day of life circa June 2004. We had worked well into the night. The Haase worked his wiring magic and after a brief moment of panic on the the 1st start for a throttle cable rigging problem we took the Phoenix on it's maiden voyage to Denny's if memory serves for some well deserved 0200 vittles. The local police heard us scream by, saw the smoke and gave chase. They thought we were on dirt bikes and all was well after we showed them our paperwork and we got our grub on.

I am already getting excited!!! 

Years ago I did it with a HD shovel head tank. You have to be very careful with gas tanks as they are thin and they will spread and not fit the mounts. You just have to monitor them closely..

The high temp that day was 69 degrees. I took advantage of the break from winter and prepped the FPPs for the application of Wal-Mart's best Rustoleum high- temp satin bbq paint. They turned out pretty good.

My FPP Chambers had a couple dents and a partially mashed header pipe. Predicted low temp that night was 6 Deg F. It took just over a gallon of water to fill each pipe to the perforated baffle tubes. I taped off the perforated tubes so I could fill them and then pulled the tape off. Three hours later the dent in the belly of the RH chamber was gone and the mashed header pipe while not perfect is way better.

Mark is the man!!!
