| Where to get a cool scale propane tank?
I want my truck to look like it runs on propane but the pro-line propane tank looks stupid.

Well, bartos used to make them. I called the brothers and was told no more. BOWTIE and I have been on a quest for someone to make them. So as I understand it, ATi performance may be machining some. I'm not sure about the nozzles, but the tanks are a possibility. I may find a way to make the final touches for him, since I do it for the NOS and powertanks I make. But I will need a prototype to do it. We will see.all the others on the market look like propane grill tanks. I can't believe manufacturers think its cool.

This on is 1/6 scale but might be able to use it for a larger tank in the back. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT |

I used a old co2 canister cut it in half and soldered it back together then made some protecters by the nozzle using Sheet metal.

I can make a mold to make them out of solid resin if I can get ahold of one if Bartos wouldn't have a problem with it.I just need one to use as the master to make the mold.I don't know about the valves though,maybe team3six can handle that part
