Thanks for the kind words guys. Hopefully getti another sheet of plate this weekend and continue along. Still trying to decide about hinges and door for firebox. So many choices out here.

[cclark]

ok so i got another piece of plate this weekend and got the top on the fb...now its time to get to the tank i reckon. I filled the tank up with water 2 or 3 times and just to be safe yesterday i stuck a t-shirt down in one of the valve holes and had a little trail of gasoline. I lit the trail and hopped in my truck spinning out in the hay field trying to get out of there....everything seemed ok. So now it is time to lay out the doors, I have looked on here for how to do the doors but am confused, Do i lay the door out from 3 to 12? that seems like a big door to me. Any help would be nice....BTW im gonna have 2 doors on this rig

[cclark]

Here was me from far away watching to see if there was a boom

[The Czar]

If it was to boom...I don't think your still far enough away!!!

[cclark]

Lol well I was about 200 yds away behind my truck, just zoomed in a long ways. But luckily enough for me there was no boom

[The Czar]

that is always a plus.....

cclark, on a 250 gall. build I bring my top cut line down 6" to 6.5" below 12:00 I have my lower cut 1" below 3:00. This should give you about an 18" tall door.
I hope this helps.
