As of today added in the center of the Tanker 25 inches to give me more room for the engine and transmission as well as more leg room as it will be driven on the street .


Thanks
Frenchy

That new insert is surprisingly similar to the length necessary to put a V-12 in that thing, huh? Sure is nicely-done! DD

Actually i have two more V 12 blocks and enough to build one complete but for the street the air cool engine will be more reliable for me and I will not have to worry about the radiator and the system overheating. Maybe later if I decide to install one of my V12 it will be ready for it.




Thanks

Thank You everyone for the great comments and positive feedback. Of course the steering wheel will be much smaller and the same style.


Thanks

Funny, as considering my sick attempts at humor, I almost commented that your steering wheel wasn't big enough. DD

Here is an update on my tanker. Cut the lip of the edge so I can have the chassis even with the top. I have more pictures to add but the system will not allow me to do so not sure why .
