Amazing group of photos, Tony. :o And I worked backwards on your Picasa page and found all the other albums. I'm starting to believe I could actually build a Panther. Is the house next door to you for sale??? :lol:

Boy you weren't kiddin'! Readers Digest Condensed version. I count just one picture in the new batch, which makes the tanks seem positively easy. Jig up the skin, and you're practically done. Why do I have the distinct fear it'll be a lot harder for me than you make it look? Really though, you're a great teacher Tony, and your excellent photo journal is going to be a Godsend when the rest of us get started. Thank you!

Just started on my third set of tanks, these for Bob Woolley. Readers Digest version of photos this time.

Scroll way down. If there's something specific you would like to see, let me know.

Don't shy away from the Panther just because you can't take a fuel tank out of the box and bolt it in the fuselage. I've built four RV tanks and four Panther tanks, so I'm speaking from experience. From hammering ribs to delivery at the UPS Store was two weeks. Photos: https://picasaweb.google.com/tonyboytoo ... rFuelTanks#. And it's not hard. And not too messy after you get the hang of it.

Darned if I can figure out how to insert a link. Rachel?
