Wow, no updates in 2 years? Well, I finally have a new one, but it's probably not the one anyone wants to hear. I have decided that this project is just too big and costly to continue moving forward with. Plus the fact that it has taken on some serious damage from the elements within the past 2 years also doesn't help. It was fun to try and tackle this project, especially the demolition of the van and all the planning of how everything was going to come together in the end. But sometimes you got to know when to step back and away from something you know you can't do, or can't continue to do.
Hopefully though, not all is lost and some of the internal boards are salvageable for other future projects. I have often thought about trying this project again in the future, but on a smaller more manageable scale. Perhaps one built from a golf cart at half the size would be feasible, but we'll have to see. I got lucky finding the scooter for the Ghost at an auction, maybe I can get lucky and find a good cheap golf cart as well. But for now, the tank is official dead in it's tracks.....pun sadly intended.
