    I am toying with a gas tank skid design and have a prototype on order. I need to know if there is enough interest for a batch of these or even a group buy if enough people are interested. It will be made of either 10gauge or 3/16 carbon steel and will be a bolt on design. I will post pics as soon as I get one in and fit it up. I am aiming to make these cheaper and just as strong or stronger than other skids.

    I have access to a hy-def plasma cutter that makes some pretty sexy cuts and a CNC pressbrake so repeatability is a piece of cake. As with most other things though, setup time is the killer... so the more I can order at once, the better deal I can get. Please let me know if interested!

    I'll have prices and pics up soon!
