Looks nice, how exactly did you find the air capacity of the frame?the way of figuring it is to multiply your materials height by width by length of the material in inches and then divide that by 216. that gives you your volume. EXAMPLE\\\ in my case 2 X 3 X 300inches divided by 216= 8.333333 hope that helps some people. thanks for the comments and cookie not driving by christmas but hopefully rolling by april. this thing is going to get ALOT more detail and fab work then my tacoma.

Lookin great and sounds like you found a keeper.

bagged trucks for the girls all around!

you are close. but there are 231 cubic inches per a gallon.

you are also going to want to use inside dimensions of your tubing.

so, for 3/16" wall 2x3, 300 in long, youd have 5.5 gallons

for 1/4" wall 2x3, youd have 4.87 gallons.

just thought you should know

frame looks sick so far cant wait to see more progress

no prob bro. looks sick btw and your building it at break-neck speed to boot!

Good work so far. I'm glad to see some folks building reservoir frames these days. My Mazda was done the same way and it worked out really well.

WOW! Two weeks from stock to custom framed. Thats pretty damn fast for being home built. You even got your lady in on the action. Nice work!
