Thanks guys.
Chris is a bridge burner like myself.
How he does what he does frightens me.
Those British cars are a tough deal.
I pick my fights very carefully.
Those guys on the music video are awesome.
Locals call me the "red neck" because I like the south
and you'd be a red neck if?

Yesterday was crazy. Clive and I went to fetch the gas tank.
We left here at 10 and the company closes at noon.
It's 20 minute drive but we got lost. Missed one turn off and things went
south.
We arrived as the guys were closing but we got the tank.
Got it home and I just had to fit the thing.
It's too wide for the chassis by 1/2"
First thing you think is that they screwed up so I go
to my file with the drawings.
The first one I find shows that the width is 500mm.
That was the drawing I sent to the first guys up the road
who said they could do the job. I wanted a tank with all the corners radiused.
That tank arrived and it was just a box with sharp corners and the welding was worse than mine.
I sent it back.
Then I checked my email sent to Latham Engineering. That drawing showed the width as being 515mm.
That's the width of the opening not the size of the tank. I messed up!!!!!!!.
Latham didn't do anything wrong.
I can't take it back so I have to fix the problem.
I can't cut the chassis so the logical thing is to cut the tank lengthwise and narrow it by 10mm.
I don't have the guts to do it right now and I'm not great. The good ole boys and I had a good evening
with a barbecue and a few beverages. Frailty sucks but it was fun.
At least we forgot about what a genius I am.
Pics of the tank and turbo hanging deal later.
I haven't forgotten, Sparky. I took about 10.
