Re: Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T

Super happy! I bought a cheap ( not really) press brake from harbor freight just so I could make 1/8 in 304 stainless tank straps. I just need to drill the holes and I can hang the tank. My sheet metal brake was not up to the task and kept making radiused bends on my test piece. Glad I tested it before ruining my 48 inch long straps.

I am seriously debating adding a -8AN drain port to the tank. I would attach a long -8AN tube to it to allow me a drain line directly into a gas can or bucket. I have the stainless bungs and it would only take s couple minutes to weld up. The tube would be secured high up above the tank. I could just add the port and use a cap. That would work too.
