The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Thanks for the positive comments guys, and Tech Rod? You have quite a build going on there also. Don't cut yourself down, very respectible, the work you are doing.



I have the final tank design and have filed it out in dxf format for laser cutting. I got the okay from our fab dept that my files are good so we are waiting on material. I did ge the call from my supplier the sheet is in but I won't get it picked up till next week.
Here are a few screen shots of the final tank design. Any comments or concerns?

The top flange will bolt in on a crossmember I will fab up from 18ga.steel. It will span between the wheel houses and carry the tank and floor loads.

A shot with the top outer panel blanked. you can see the inner panel that bridges across and supports the front panel and creates the flange that will bolt the tank to the existing floor.

I still need to come up with a sender and all of the fittings. I will have the close out plate cut at the same time as the rest of the panels.

My only real concern is getting this welded up. I will be using most of the cut-offs to practice my aluminum welding.
Thanks for looking
Mark
