It's sitting on BMW 750 wheels for the paint job. I obviously didn't keep those.


Nice looking ride!

They had a 3 on the tree.


Hard to beat the fuel economy of a civic and the reliability of a Toyota. America needs to catch up!

Factory tank doesn't work? Built a nice 48 gallon tank for one of our service trucks. Hard to beat a custom fitted tank!

Factory tank works great. Looking for range, so the aux tank will gravity feed the factory tank.

So you have to crack a valve to fill the primary tank or did you solve the back flow issue of the primary tanks fill spout?
