Thanks Rodcrafter, Big T, and Pit Doctor!! Hope it works...Its my first try and its not even mine…can't wait to get to the finishing. I have some pretty neat ideas for shelving, the built in cooler on the backside and some other little tricks. Have several friends who offered to cut my shelf, one has water jet, one has hi-def plasma, and one has laser. The build is for my uncle, he graduated from Univ. of Georgia in early 70's so it will have a UGA look when finished.

Can you experts give me input on the counter weights for the doors? Im sure you guys can save me some failed attempts. Will they only function properly if they are straight up? I would love to have them follow the curvature of the tank if its possible. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

I like to put an angle into the support of mine. The goal is to get some weight past the hinge point as quickly as possible. What we have been doing as I learned from these guys is get the support(s) in place then an hollow tube attached. Next add round stock or rebar in the tube until the desired balance is achieved. Weld them in place on each end then cap the tube.
Making memories.

just for the hell of it, I'm gonna try more angle on the counterweight than the pic you posted. Just to see if I can make it work…gotta get started on trailer now. Horse traded for some wheels, so now I know the height Im working with
