Ink & Paper mockup once again. Think I might go for a more rounder tank.

LMAO. I'll trade ya my Alien Egg tank for your rapido!
I think the rapido belongs with this build. I bought a Hodaka tank because of this thread or that other one but it's freakin' HUGE! Now I want a rapido to compare to. Hah.
The EGG tank actually fits my build so I should just stop..... thinking.....about....another.....tank.....that will cost more money for more surgery.
But I really like the Harley Baja tank (might be too long) and some of those early, metal Husqvarna tanks. It's all soooo not cheap!

Haha this is the tank I actually plan to use. It's super narrow. Making tabs so both tanks can be swapped.

Jdizon,
I'm following both your builds on here, great work dude keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing them finished.
Good to see I'm not the only one who draws pictures of what they want their ride to look like!

Thanks man! drawing and phoCHOPPing play a big role in the final look of the build. Plus its much cheaper and easier to mock stuff up this way. My only problem is that I keep changing my mind on the look I'm after.

He's got some sick fab skills. I should be getting it any say now. Man.. Really like the style of his builds and can't wait to get more work done. I'm already talking to him about building a custom frame I can use my rapido tank on lol!
He'll build (chop) any style tank you can think of! He's a really cool guy to work with so that's a plus.

Not much progress but got the tank mocked up on the frame. Trying to figure out where I want to place it.
