Sorry for making a new post with the finished product but i was so excited to post pics that i posted them on the old thread and got no replies so i made a new one.

here it is the start of the tank and the stand and the finished product 6 1/2 long 2 ft wide 1 1/2 ft tall 150gallon 1/4" glass cost me $218 for everything!! and to buy one would cost me $525

And finished

well since u see the 2 cars in the backround
my other project is the 1969 camaro ss re built from bare block with my dad brand new everything on this motor with about 6k in it 400 horse,

oh lol and the mustang you see is my bros 1996 he did the same thing that i did its 5spd with a rebuilt 351 windsor with a demon 650 carb over 10k in that car about 400 horse(pish posh)

I worry sometimes about my 1/2" thick on my 125.

WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE TO SCARE ME LIKE THIS?

maybe its just me, but I want everything to be bulletproof. (not literally)

lol well my tank is only 18" tall but long so 1/4" with the right bracing should do fine
