...And the mud tracks in the shape of tire treads in the living room carpet simply add character to the home.

A couple burnouts on the hardwood floor is akin to a death wish. Somethings are best not done.

:lol: Just remembered this. Had the front tire tread imprint on the wall inside my 1st van way back when. The imprint was horizontal 3 feet above the floor. Never try to ride a bike in the side door of a van. It will really hurt.

Haha I'll make a mental note of that

The mental image I have of this is incredible....

Yeah, my imagination was working full time with a piece of plywood for a ramp. I had just put the finishing touchs on a complete Mohagany interior and carpeting. A friend commented the tire mark added character to the interior.
The inside was tongue and groove Mohagany boards 3 inches wide. Horizontal on the walls and crossways(side to side) on the ceiling. A lot of work but it was worth it. Completely insulated and nearly soundproof too. That same friend actually bought the van after I had driven it for exactly 10 years and 140,000 miles. Sept 9th, 1974 to Sept 9th, 1984. He had it another 10 years.

And I never did take a pic of my handywork.

Nice looking tank, but the first pic, ya see the slot and 2 screw holes on the right side of the bottom of the tank, that is where the fuel gauge goes. When you flip the tank to install, that slot is now on the left where the petcock should be. This was my problem with the ebay tank. Thats the slot i covered with the cutout of the old tank for the petcock. Weird no ?

[Rookie Rider]

Does the petcock come with the tank ?
