Re: TT Sedan

I mocked up the front windscreen but not liking what I see.
A large gap at the top would need to be filled so it is on the backburner for now.
Pushed the sedan out of the shed and wrapped it up as Ammo's ute is back.

Re: Dave's Orange Betty EK Sedan

I offset the 16 gallon mustang tank in Ammo's ute so i could have a straight line on the exhaust.
I did move the filler to the side after this photo.

My understanding is the tank the same width and length but get deeper as the capacity increases.
