naw,, I'm on hold for now. Mine is back on the schedule visit the land of the Mopars end of January to finish up some things. I'll catch up with you or just show up one day.

Tanks have arrived! Looks like only 5 though (per Joe's original spreadsheet I thought there should've been 7)...I'll verify how many and for who came in at lunch when I can unwrap the pallet and post a couple pictures.

 

[Joe473]

Great to hear!! There were a couple of stragglers that may have backed out. Did they mark tanks with names for you? How do they look?

Jsmall, I think yours will be shipping on 26th. I'll shoot aero an email this afternoon to check.

 

[maup]

Yeah they are marked. Mine, Joe473, Ransil (Randy?), Chight (Chris?), and someone named Emory.

They look and feel solid - after loading them in the truck I can definitely tell which ones had skid plates. There were a few places where the flanges had torn through the shrink wrap, and the paint was a little dinged there, and a couple places where it looked like the shrink wrap had rubbed off between the tanks causing a few light scratches, but nothing serious.

They were individually wrapped on the pallet, then the pallet wrapped up. I'll fully unwrap mine tonight and look closer at it and add a couple more pics. I'll leave everyone else's wrapped up unless they want me to check for something specific.

Haven't had a chance to unpack it

It looks like a fuel tank! I was pleasantly surprised the EFI tank came with a fuel pump hanger, I thought it would just be baffled with a cutout for <insert random fuel pump>. Maybe I missed that in the original post. I still think the paint could've been a little better, but its functional.

Received my tank today, looks well packaged! Need to open it up and check it out!

On the paint my plan was always to paint it anyway. Most vendors are only a primer. Maybe 904 will chime in but on west coast I wouldn't worry about it. On the east coast with all the salt we use on roads mine will get a coat of KBS or POR Before goes in.

Also got an email from Aero. Tanks to NC ford Guy and MIGS have shipped but may be delayed due to weather on east coast.
