Gotcha!

I really didn't want to make a shroud out of stainless, but I figured that I wouldn't be able to get to the metal supply place any time soon, so I did cause I had it here.

Anyway, here it is so far. The white is a plastic sheeting that protects the finish while you work it. It will come off to reveal a shinny polished Finnish.

You'll just have to wait. If I have to use stainless I want it to look good. I have to finish riveting the lip in and file the ginsu edges down. If I can get back on it tonight I will let you see.

Bling is for mall cruisers.

........watch out for that speedbump.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1729 on:** Jun 21, 2006, 10:08:27 AM »

I guess with the engine mods we'll be seeing more pictures of the Mammoth on the side of the road out of fuel.

I guess if I'm not going to hook up the gas gauge I could at least build a bigger tank.

Speed bump? That is why I got them there beed locks, so I can air down and not feel them.

Mark doesn't like the

either, he still wants to get aluminum and redo it in two parts.

But in the meantime.. HE GOT A TOOLBOX!!

Lady Di · « **Reply #1732 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 04:25:25 PM »

um.. it will eventually be a toolbox, anyway!

I say just mount the rad 2 the back roll bar. ya it's a lot of piping but it would run cooler + no mud in the rad just don't roll thats all.

Lady Di · « **Reply #1734 on:** Jun 22, 2006, 06:08:37 PM »

I believe we've seen them mounted in the bed before

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1735 on:** Jul 01, 2006, 06:17:08 PM »

Enough about the radiator for a while.

Today I started the new fuel tank. I used up almost a full sheet of 16 gauge to build it.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1736 on:** Jul 01, 2006, 06:22:57 PM »

I still have to build the drop tank and put the fill neck on.

May even have to put a tube through it so I can run the E brake cable.

You wanna make me a nice replacement for my runner...maybe one that relocates itself out of the way, unlike the stock tank which is everywhere I don't want it.
