Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
Got the new tank rigged up yet? Or are you too busy enjoying the properly working A/C system, hehe. Sure was nice today here, good little storm rolled through and kept the temps under 90, was an excellent change!

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
I haven't done anything with the tank, except I sealed it up for storage.
I plan on putting it in when I pull the bed to do the rear notches.

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
I thought you were going with a monster notch and cut out the bed so you could lay it out on bags. Looks good

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
So you go the tank in? Everything works? Where'd you put the gas filler?

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
The tank is just mounted. The lines and filler are just plugged for now. It will probably be next weekend before I hook it up. I'm planning on hiding the fill though....just gotta work it out first.

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
Yeah, that might be a good plan....
A shop somewhere between our houses would be nice, huh? I forgot to share something else with this thread's followers....as most of you know I have been looking for some 7" rallies. I found a pair finally, but as I was leaving Scott's last night I just happened to notice that he has a whole set of them. they have been under our noses all along...

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
Randy,
I dunno. Your guy with the 7's not coming through fir you? I already claimed 2 of Scott's wheels though . Mike, yeah, we figured we had about 8 hours of work with it said and done. About half of that was grinding on the rear end Plasma is sweet, but we would have practically killed fir a regular torch. It would have saved a ton of grinding.
