would anyone be interested in these tanks if i could produce them? ive been talking to my dad and he said he can make the jigs and bender so there would be less welds... and of course i would use a smaller filler rods :p so the welds wont be so huge.... if we get enough people.... at least ten... i will sell the overflow tanks at $180 already powdercoated.... :tup: i think thats a pretty badass price considering that its like 1/4 the price of the arc... tell me wat you guys think.... minimum of 10 orders for this to happen....:tup:
