water/meth tank build
 
8 Attachment(s)
just a few pics of the tank i built for my stang.it holds 4.5 gallons so i don't need to fill up too often.it uses a sending unit and a gas gauge to keep track of the level.while the gauge can be mounted inside the car i prefer to have it in the trunk.a quick glance is all that is needed to see the level.it is all on one aluminum plate so it comes out very quickly if need be.i still have to have it powder coated.

Nice work Gary. Looks great. It's almost a shame to hide it in the trunk.

rampant racing 07-23-2011 07:21 AM

Great idea on the selling of home made parts. Mind you I have people telling me to open a detail shop but then it's work = no fun so no thanks

rampant racing 07-24-2011 10:10 AM

was gonna do that with my intake manifold but it is not cheap and no one wants to spend the money.it's takes alot of work ,time and money to develope an intake manifold that actually fits and works flawlessly.hell even this meth tank would have to be sold for around $500.00 to make it worth my while ,and that is without the pump system.i pretty much just do this stuff for myself these days but if someone wants one or something else just let me know and i will give you a price if i can.most stuff unless it is custom fit is built cheaper and in volume by bigger company's so they can offer it cheaper.i have no intentions of working for nothing.ANYTHING you buy has at least a 100% profit markup ,but most people want everything for cheap.i can't afford that.lol

SNAKEBITE 07-24-2011 03:45 PM

^^^Exactly. If someone asks me to do their car I use to do it for free, now in my shape I say 300.00 and they run away. My buddies idea on the price lol

Apocalypse Pony 07-25-2011 05:30 AM

Gotta be worth it to do it, it's called a business, not a charity!!! lol

SNAKEBITE 07-25-2011 02:31 PM

I am sure you know about my past sickness so hence the free thing. Well I needed a couple of cans of cold Coke otherwise it was free

$300 would be fair for the job you do, how many coats would that be 25 or 30. :LOL:

SNAKEBITE 07-26-2011 05:16 PM

big fat 1 lol

rampant racing 07-30-2011 11:18 PM

iam not proud of this but i hate detailing my car.so much so that i have never done it !not even a coat of wax.it gets a car wash and the windows cleaned and i think i vacuumed it out once.i have from time to time hit it with a spray of detailer but that's it.it has a permanent coat of rubber on the rear 1/4's i wear like a badge of honour.whatever comes off with the hose comes off,the rest stays.
