    Big Red 250es Coming Along

    I have been waiting months but I finally have my Big Red closer to being finished.
    I finished ordering the tires two weeks ago and I now have them mounted on the rims
    and bolted to the axles and the bike now stands tall like its supposed to unlike its sorry state
    when it had two un usable tires. I am now in the process of finishing my gas tank, which has been
    a jb weld and eastwood tank sealer fest! Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to get a picture up of
    the Big Red with its plastic welded and painted fenders and finished gas tank. We'll see!

    Good job on the Tank, but I have tried that years ago and the gas ate right through it. Hopefully the sealer does the trick.

    I am very confident in the jb weld. But of course you cant use it just by itself because the gas will eat right through it which could be a problem hahah...
    so by sealing it with the Eastwood Antique gas tank sealer after I already prepped the inside of the tank, it will protect the jb weld and seal the tank from leaking
