I've made mock ones out of cardboard and I even made a steel one. but when it came to the 1mm ali every one I asked said it couldn't be welded. So not one to be beat a few months later I went and bought myself a welder and set it up for ali and by trial and error taught myself to weld. I have just finished my first tank (which all in all has cost me about £1000 and god only knows how many hours in the shed) now just got to figure how  I should attach it. Bear in mind this is also a mock tank and my first welding attempt so don't knock it cuz they will only get better.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B> <A NAME="_big_wheels_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I><I><B>(Big Wheels)</B></I></div> <div> <I><B><IMG SRC="0cfc8960.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="150" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="0d1c8960.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="150" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="0d3c8960.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="150" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Ok this all started when some one asked if I could make my savage float, so I went  to my local tyre place and got four valves and fitted them to some trukzilla wheels.
