Wow John...you are quite the craftsman!!! Great to see the scratchbuilding and fabrication coming together so convincingly.

Will be looking forward to seeing this one progress, but great work so far!

John, what are you using to cust the small sections of alluminum tubing for things like your shock mounts etc? My tubing cutter does not go small enough, and when I try to use other devices I get oblong cuts or cuts that are full of burrs.

Mark………I cut the aluminum tubing with sharp scissors……..I cut the length a little bit longer than I need…….. then I use a file …….and file down to the right length……and I use an exacto blade to de-burr…….. .i`m old school brother…….I don`t have any fancy tools or machines :mellow: …….I just use what I got…….thanks buddy :)

John, there is a lot going on there on the back side of that thing and its all coming together so nicely! Always enjoy watching your WIP's. Maybe I missed it, but what did you use for the ends of the fuel tank? Excellent job so far, really excited to see more progress.
