    Now you know why there is a headless horseman running around.

    Study the last pic!

    Going to make parts for another one and this will be a shorty one. It is going to go on the 390 with CR ignition. Should open the top end up some on it.
    I should get the tubing Monday night. Then all I have to do is assemble it.

    I found that my regulator(Harbor Freight)on the TIG lost a diaphragm so that was why mine emptied so fast

    Yeah something goofy going on with it. Happen when I hooked new bottle up.
    Needle was under the post, so not sure if it just blew all around the whole gauge?
    Hopefully, going to pull the one off my mig to see if it will get me by this weekend.
    I have no idea where my gas is at, but I can tell welding.

    Thanx,

    Should have all the pieces fabbed up today and get them polished.
    The tubing should be here Monday, to fit all the pieces together in it.
    As long as I don't screw the back end cap up today milling it.
    The back cap is going to be two pieces. I will prob cut an o ring groove so it doesn't weep spooge.

    If you want to make perfect baffle.

    Get what ever size tube that you want inside diameter to be.

    Roll it around tube best you can. Then put 4 hose clamps on it and just tighten them enough so you can pull tube out.

    Then spot braze it down seam and keep moving your hose clamps.

    Start in center and work your way to ends.

    Hi there. Could you please outline how you painted your fuel tank, like stage by stage? I am interested in how many coats you applied to get such a great finnish, decals under the clear top coat, just one top/clear coat? Many Thanks.
