Re: new project

If you hop a curb you'll have a lot of other low hanging fruit to worry about.

Re: new project

Coming along nicely Curt.The new location for the oil tank will sure help cool it. I'm sure you considered damage from road debris. If anything punctures it you'll have bigger things to be worrying about.
I like it. A lot.
