Nice job on the flat bed. Did one on an old square body Chevy with dual tanks. I always thought it was a dumb idea to have a filler on each side, so I routed the filler on the right side over to the left side. That way the owner could fill both tanks from the same side.
@nauvooacresАй бұрын
Thank you. Makes good sense to route them to one side. Thanks for watching!

Or u can simply do what Semi trucks do and have a crossover tube between the two tanks.

Once that treated lumber dries up, you should look into staining it. Personally think a dark brown stain would look great.

штош. По порядку. Доску не обработали, а положили как есть. Странно, но допустим. Хотя для меня такое недопустимо. Над качеством сварки нужно ещё поработать. Но если заказчика устраивает, то кто я такой, чтобы судить? Было потрачено много лишнего металла, но если художник так видит, то и ок.
