Great start. I will follow this a I have a 500 setting and waiting. Are you going with "standard" doors or boxing it out for barn door style? Good luck and enjoy.

RDRASH · Post by **RDRASH** » March 12th, 2012, 12:18 pm

Probably just going with regular doors. But who knows already changed my mind about 20 times.

Looks great RDRASH! Definetly coming along nicely.
I couldnt have that recliner, i would be in it waiting for someone to get me a beer!

Points for the shop. Do you have a maid service for it? It is way to neat!

That's why there isn't one at Franks shop.....

Smokeone · Post by **Smokeone** » March 12th, 2012, 7:27 pm

I cant say i've seen a shop so neat with work going on!

RDRASH · Post by **RDRASH** » March 12th, 2012, 10:48 pm

Well i'm like a woman when it comes to the shop. I hate working for 5 minutes and looking for something for 10. It just comes from almost 20 years of clean and organized tools makes the job faster which means more money. The story on the boob plaque is they were a gift for the shop from my other half. They shake and bounce while singing titties and beer. They come with changeable tops.

Maybe thats why i cant get anything done!

Good looking crew, good attitude and a nice tank. Should be a fun one. Should you do much more cutting, a pipe wrap or even a good thick role of tape helps put out a nice guideline. Hard to get much else to work and a clean line will be your friend when mating up steel. Good luck with the build!

Post by **Tom_Heath** » March 13th, 2012, 9:31 pm

Looking really great. I like what you've done with the tongue.

Nice shop, I think I spy a really cool band saw in the background. LOL

RDRASH · Post by **RDRASH** » March 13th, 2012, 10:05 pm

Thank guys, there are two band saws one is a handheld dewalt, the Horizontal is an older kalamazoo love them both nice clean cuts. Well got a little work done today, burned the tank out(dosen't smell like a dead corpse anymore) and got the doors cut in the tank, also picked up a bunch of 1/4 plate for free

. Will try and put some new pics up tomorrow.

It appears you took the family for an outing at the local public area, and a fire broke out. I guess since you are posting pics the van survived, looks really close in the pic.

Glad you got it burnt out. I'm sure it smells better now, of course I'm partial to the smell of smoke ;) .

You didn't happen to get any extra free steel? That is right in my price range and seems i'm going to need some soon. I'll even pick it up to save you the hassel of getting it shipped!
