extremely nice indeed job well done. are your tanks solid and if they are how did the weight affect your frame?............Cliff THANKS For all your complement's guy's, they are very much appreciated. the tank's are solid but the aluminum I used was a high grade aircraft aluminum kinda like a waffer. one of my buddy works for a prototyping co and he picked me up some spare pieces that where laying around. I got the frame reinforced from when I extended it just in case. ANTHONY R.

...yeah anthony on your trailer connections you could go one of two ways... you could go with the traditional way of useing "glad hands" or "quick connects / disconnects... i like the quick disconnects esp since you got it all tricked out... also, you could also run the lines out the back of the frame etc... i'll post some ref pics for you...

Anthony... glad to be able to help you! Let me know if you're looking for something else... So, what's going to be the next build? Don't know yet, but what i do know is it will be much crazier then my 300 Pete. I have the AMT KENWORTH T600A at home and if i use that one i will make it one full body mold and kit. If not I will have to find me a nice Pete kit to build a radical show Rig. thanks again guy's. Anthony R.
