My DIY Tank Stand

[LemonHead]

Hello all,
First and foremost I would like to thank all the other DIYers before me.
If it wasn't for you folks, my buddy and I wouldn't be able to build our tank stands. Question is, will it be able to park a "buick" on top? Any suggestions, or opinions are very helpful. If possible, I would like to know before I start skinning.

On with the pics...

Don't get confused, mine's on the bottom with the fake MFK decal (written on by Jizon82).
My buddies' tank stand is on top!

The insides...

Again, mine on bottom unwrapped, my buddies' on top, nearly DONE!

You know we're asian since you can see the bag of rice

Naw, Pounders right. S14. Not mine's but it is for sale
And I do have a JDM DC2 if anyone else is interested
Pm me for any questions on the cars, I dont wanna turn this into a FS thread

Thanks but I guess I just needed some assurance that this stand will hold.
The stand was built tough, and I'm not talking about Fords

Looks pretty solid to me, I see a lot of wood resting directly on wood. What's going on top?

good lord those stands are beefy! you should be able to put a few buicks on there good job.

and i just love the look of an intercooler peeking through the bumper

That's a nice effort, definitely over kill.

My one comment though is that the piece of OSB on the bottom is not necessary. It really doesn't serve any purpuse. I know the theory is that it will help spread the weight over more Sq ft, but it really doesn't do more than your subfloor will do for you.

It doesn't hurt to put it on the bottom (don't rip it off), but it doesn't add any benefits, unless you just like having it in the bottom.

Your stands look very beefy. Very nice job.
