Thank you so much. I learned alot with some of the cars I built over the years....Restraint is sometimes the best path. It also helps that I am on a super tight budget and has to make decisions as to what direction I wanted to take things and stick to the plan. It makes me feel good that others appreciate what I have tried to do.

The tank was purchased from the classifieds here on this forum....it was a killer deal that I could not pass up....and ended up being much nicer in person than the pictures...the metal flake flames POP in the sunlight

VERY nicely done, Storm. The Mustang seat works very well with the 3.3 gallon tank.

Nice 48 you have! I have one as well... in stock condition but I was thinking of installing a Mustang seat as well.

Just checking, what size Mustange seat do you have installed, is it a 3.3 or 4.5 Gallon option? I read somewhere in the forum we should be getting the 4.5 Gallon Option:

Thanks!

Mine is the 4.5 gallon option. Both will work...I just didnt want the seat rubbing on my 3.3 Gallon tank....the only difference is about an inch shorter nose portion of the seat. So it just depends on how much gap you want.
