Tank mounted

 After the tab was made I couldn't wait...
I was going to take it to Kyle to Tig it but...

Back to the red tank for now
The fuel tap position is more conducive to the engine position
Tapped and cleaned it this morning

Post test weld 
My brother always said most of the time spent welding is in the prep
Moyou agrees

 Tapped the frame instead of welding in the bung
These old Ariel frames have thick tubing.....
