frame jig fixtures

makin a new axle plate fixture,, the old ones i hav made an been usin are still efficient, but needin more adjustability, i made this to accomodate ones wantin wider than normal tire sizes, smaller or larger axle sizes,etc, etc.. with the adjustability been a little quicker an at the same time bein as or more accurate.. only bad point , at the  moment is not bein able to shoot lines with the lazer level,,bein its a single post design,, but theres always the string method..

$5 gas tank....

I bought this tank at a flea market for $5,,,big ugly sob,,had about 6 coats of somekinda paint job on it an looked like someone had try to kill it with a hachet...

so,, needin more fuel capacity than my 1.5 gal prizm,, i proceeded to remove all the crap paint, sand out all the gouges best i could, an remove about 1.5" outta the center



welded back up,,redid the tunnel, mounts,,added fuel outlet an bungs for a sight gauge... then the fun began,,i added a rib to it ,,.25 round stock ,  heated,tack,bend to shape,tack,repeatrepeatrepeat...most ive seen done were just tacked then bondo applied to make the shape,,i welded this one all the way around,,ground,sanded to shape,,after alotta fire an fury ..
