I agree. I'm in the market for a gas tank just like that but shipping from overseas and getting thru customs would be the killer. Looks like i'll be farming out the build to a gas tank shop for a few hundred $$ when I can get the funds together. Thats cheaper than buying a Tig capable of doing aluminum. I'd love to do it myself and learn but the cost of materials, tig would be more than having someone else do it. The shame is I wouldn't mind investing in equipment if I'd be able to use it often but how often would i weld aluminum on these cars? not very often.

will a spool gun look as nicely as a tig weld? the spool gun itself isn't very tiny so I have to assume you won't have as much control over your welds as you would with your finger tips when tig welding.

I have a Storebro combimill cnc milling machine from 1985 with Heidenhain Tnc155 control and a Southwestern Prototrak 1745 cnc lathe.
For construction and 3d programming I use Rhinocad/cam.
You can see some pics of the machines and some of my work at www.fraesarn.se only in swedish but just click on the pics.
The car have been working great all summer but not much racing, it is more fun just driving around.

Can you tell us how you like the injection setup your using? I'm carb'd for now with my procharged setup....but would like to use injection in future. Most systems are too pricey.....could do lots more for the money instead.
