On that note, does anyone have any advice on pinhole repair? This tank has got a few leaks. I'm thinking silver solder the holes then line it with the good stuff.

Braze a "reinforcement plate" along the bottom? Usually a pinhole leak (there is no such thing as "one" pinhole!) means there are a bunch more just a'waiting to make their presence known....

WTF, it's not purple anymore?!?

And I really can't say what's compelling me to say this but the wheels look like they could use a set of dice valve stem caps.

Looks good for a non-purple scrambler thing.

I like it too, but, I was a bit attached to the purple tank!

Hi there jsullivan!

Your build seems to be just about what I'm looking to build, so I'm ager to know how it's coming along?

Regards (and first post for me, I think),
