This has got to be my favorite KZbin channel. Most others just talk and talk and talk and do very little if any work. You’re putting these young guys to shame with your work. I wish you nothing but the best and hopefully you get the Mrs. Ride done so she keeps feeding you!

Once again Div, you've gone beyond the contract, beautiful work. I've done a couple of custom fuel and oil tanks for my car and motorcycle projects a long time ago, welding with oxy-acetylene. All I can say is "well done young man and TANKS for the memories". The old car carrier REO is going to be great 👍. Cheers mate. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

Paint one side of the adjusting handles a different color. Makes counting turns faster and more accurate. On the roller, use 2 equal flat bars, one at each end. Close rollers until both sides touch. Mark the handles pointing in the same direction. Now your turns will be in sync. I do the same to carb jet screws. Fully seat, then mark a dot with a paint pen. Then it is easy to see how far you turn it.

That old truck is coming right along. Keep up the AWESOME work. I was just telling my wife yesterday how much I miss the curves of the old cars and trucks. Now they have the angles and that is fine but there is nothing like the curves of the old ones. I love seeing the old fellers being saved and put back on the road and back to work.

Div, you did a beautiful job on those fuel tanks. They fit that truck perfectly. It hurts my arm just thinking about those 16 holes you drilled for the tank brackets. A mag drill sure would have saved you some pain. But you persevered, as always. Great job on the entire truck. You're very fortunate to have such good friends to help you out. I'm sure you'd do the same for them.

The only problem I can see, if your fuel is anything like ours, you will need drain plugs. Looking forward to the next project. Have a good one mate.
