finn-kool shows them on their site but when you call them they dont do those anymore.As popular as they are you would think they would step up.I made my own from a home brew supplier.I think its midwest supply,search on here I know its here.

Hey Chris, Could you please post some photos of how you shortened your seat, as I'm having some clearance issues with the one I just purchased and the 5hp Briggs flathead install.
Thanks.
Mike.

Did you find the gas tank you are looking for. A possible idea is a moon tank on the front of a dragster such as at www.thehotrodcompany.com or even at speedway motors

Sorry I havent gotten back to you Walt. The last one I sold I think it was $110 plus shipping. Just like the last one in the pics. It will need paint when it arrives.

Sorry Mike but what you see is all I have for pics. But all I did was take a 2 ring stool with the chrome seat apron. Cut the vertical tubes flush with the top ring and then welded some 90* brackets from the ring to the seat frame. Keep all the parts and welds up under the seat so as not to be seen. Ill see if I have a pic before and after.....

Mike you can use a single ring like this...........Double ring looks better in my opinion.

Hey Mike, you may just want to buy a counter height stool. I found the same style as I showed at Target. Same price for a 30" or a 24"

Thanks Chris, I have a single ring, but will change it for a double for looks, only $24. Does your Snapon frame drag the ground when you wheelstand? It looks like the same amount of overhang as mine.

As for the Hieneken, it is a preferred taste and is best real cold and not flat. Try a slice of lemon with it, which is a bit yuppyish but might help out.

I see your running a TAV,how much clearance do you have between the driven and your frame?Mine looks too close to me,it just a shade under 1/4 inch.

Mike where are you finding the double ring stools for $24? Link?
Yes I think the frame did drag but I sold soon after finishing.

YEP, thats about right. My next time I build one of these Ill be using a chain tentioner insead of siding the motor back and forth to adjust the chain......The idler wheel will move in a slot to tighten the chain.

Sorry Chris, I was wrong, they are $28.00 for a double ringed stool frame.

I'm going to alter the rear of the frame and turn it up a little so we can achieve a good angle while wheel standing.

Check this puppy out! A cool looking beer mini beer keg, solid looking aluminum and at the right price. This would definitely make a great fuel tank with some creativity.

Here's another one, better looking, but a lot more expensive.
