Don't watch if you have seizures....LOL. Compressed a few months of work on building a new fiberglass tank mold.

Took me a while for the seizures to stop.

Do you have a slightly slower version that shows the steps you have to take, such as the flange down the spine and the tunnel and bungs and filler cap? That would be instructive to many of us that might think about making a one off tank but probably never will.

JA-Moo

Yes, the second video listed. The fuel filler is from Aircraft Spruce. A bond on or bolt on. :)

What's the story on the AR on the wall?

LOL, I wish! Those are all Airsoft rifles. We have skunk and Racoon families every year, that are raiders of our pond we have to run off.

Thanks John,

That is one sh!t load of work.  Thanks for sharing. 

JA-Moo

Thanks, and yes it is! I was actually already to a finishing stage before, but started over so to show the full process. Yes, I'm crazy!

That looks really nice John - reminds me of a Suzuki Stinger but with more pronounced style lines.
