2 II Ratical ---- aka Too 2 Ratical Liner #211
« on: April 16, 2009, 07:19:49 PM »
I have been intriqued by FWD Liners since I became the eng partner on Skip's "Rose" I have a front axel and a tank I hauled to Phoenix from TX.  These will be the basics of for the car to go with my 211 liner number I have had for some time.

Strange Tank!!

SS 1 what did this thing fit into?  I have been told it may be a B 58 bomb bay ferry tank.

2000 hrs maybe---but  I don't have that much money, and already have most of the parts---this thing will be PRIMITIVE--just like his older brother---does that mean  I can't start---or just can't finish.  lol

Sparky,

What is the diameter of the tank? Looks like a fun project.

Christmas came early ordered a new JD Square Model 32, with a 2" die-- because I finally found somewhat of a deal  on 2" dom .120. SW steel  orded a bundle back in '04 for someone and hadn't sold one stick.  The leanto on my shop will be finished by the first of the year so we will have room for a Sum Style build table inside after we CLEAN house?-

We will post picts as we progress we will build the cage first which will be in front of the FWD axel' then the back frame for the"STUFF".
