Shawn, haven't you seen enough people on here take a perfectly good trail rig and turn them inside out? You know I still regret doing that to my Bronco, because when the weather is bad or it's muddy so are you. I'll be watching your build up, I do like the new motor going in it. .

That is why I have 2..............

We would all like 2 but some of us just aren't rolling in it like you.

Side note: You at work today? Call me please.

Here are a few more pics. Most of the stuff I have done you can't see... I scored a dual fuel propane system off of ebay for a SMOKING deal!!!! I will be building a fuel cell this weekend to mount under the rear seat.

Getting closer

Nice! I dig the rear seat! So cool that you are keeping it looking like a cruiser from the firewall back too.

I think so too.

Are you planning on skinning it to resemble a cruiser again?

Nope...

Reskinning,,, yes, but I don't think it will look too much like the old cruiser.

That thing is turning out badass!! How's the hood clearance?Are you going to put some more tube behind that tank? Oh and dude I still have your stainless, I'll try and and make it up there in the next few days, maybe tonight? Where did you score your tank and how much? Kyle needs one.

Like gasoline, but under pressure..... It goes through a vaporizer then hits a mixer...

I haven't sat the mixer on the carb yet... I bought the tank from a forklift parts place Crown, I hate to tell ya what I paid... The ones ane ebay are just a bit cheeper. I have a question about the quick connector, can a regular BBQ one work on the forklift tank? They look kinda different.

They are different, you can get that quick connect at Commercial Propane for around 15 bucks , I'll look out here for a connector also. You can get used tanks at Wasacht Popane "sp" for 60.00, that is where I picked up my spare tank. Take that new one back...

The tank I bought was New, I called Wasatch and they wanted $75.00 for a used one. I just ordered the mounting kit and connector form this site. Good prices.
