Not burned out on it, just don't have the tools right now to finish up the rear of the frame. I need a bender so I can finish that up and finish the body mounts as well.

Not really an update but I found some plans for a tube bender. Gonna try and get my buddy to cut the pieces out on the waterjet this week. Hoping to get back at this soon...

Worked on the air tank/crossmember today, and figured out what size fuel cell to go with. Going to go with a 17 gallon fuel cell, I want one with a sump so I need to find out how much buying one without a sump is and getting one welded on is vs getting a custom built cell. Need to finish drilling holes tomorrow because the drill press crapped out on me and get the fittings welded in. Pics as soon as I can find a camera.
The air tank/fuel cell setup is going to look something like this, with the 2 tanks being connected by the crossmember. Should come out to a little under 5 gallons.

Finally found the camera and got some pics uploaded. Finished drilling what I started yesterday and got the fittings welded in, still need to add 3 more fittings to the bottom of the crossmember but thats going to wait until the drill press is back to working order.
Crossmember with the fittings welded in:
Set in place:
Since I didnt have the drill press to work with to finish the holes with I had to use this beast of a drill. Just for reference the crossmember is 32" long.
And totally off topic but here's a pic of one of the projects Ive done lately instead of working on the truck, its a feeder wagon for our cows all home built.
