So I have been reassembling the explorer chassis, its been slow and tedious but fun to be bolting on new parts that I've had for ever. When I installed the gas tank I went doh!, I made my cab mounts with the tank conveniently out of the way but with it back in there I can't mount the one side of the rear mount! I don't know what I was thinking leaving that out when I fabbed that stuff, I guess I was enjoying all the extra room, the tank is huge. So now I'm going to have to figure out a way to mount that side of the rear.

A hammer to the tank sounds the easiest, maybe somebody else has a better idea I think I'd look for a different tank in reality, that looks like the easiest solution to me.

When I finish assembling the frame I'm going to have to put the cab back on and see what can be done. I think I can find some other solution other than the big hammer.
