That's a pretty darn cool fuel tank!
Hey, there's a big hole where your ABS should be!

It's a sport model, black trans case and short block and no abs, also shorter 6th gear.

I'm in. If it turns out anything like your XRL, it'll be awesome.

So what'cha got in mind for the tank? Solid color, any stripes? What is that color...kinda medium gray with a little brown tinge?

I totally respect guys that can do stuff like this. I'm a smart fella (not a fart smella), but not too good with the trades stuff. I applaud you!
