You may want to rotate the fill hole up a hair. Cant get a full tank of fuel as it sits. Looks really good though. You have a lot more patience then i will ever have!

I got some more work on the Pete done. The Fuel tank's where the hardest to do , but now they are done. It's down hill from here. They are pinned strapped and have rubber straps under the aluminum one's. I can also unstrap them by pulling a pin. The Pete itself is already nice and heavy You may want to rotate the fill hole up a hair. Cant get a full tank of fuel as it sits. Looks really good though. You have a lot more patience then i will ever have! With the way gas price's are these day's I don't want to filler up. Good looking out towguy76 I will fix that before final assembly.

Very nice. Very realistic, too. As for the filler hole, it just needs to be a hair off from being at the top. Maybe offset by the width of the hole itself. Fantastic job though.

Regards, The Can Trucker First of all make sure the beer is a Modelo negro w/ a side shot of Patron Then you would be ready for building. Some people think im crazy when I tell them I see the rig done and finished right after I take it out of the box and set it on the work bench. I will sit there for 1 hr just looking at what got's to be done..... ;D ANTHONY R.
