    Got my white Clarke fuel tank installed!

    So, what is the concensus here? Yay or Nay on the all white theme? I don't know if I am gonna ditch the blue fork boots and seat cover for red or black though. I was originally gonna do a red, white and black theme to match the dirt car but I would hate to risk ruining the original seat cover. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

    Maybe you can sell/trade the seat to someone with a good seat pan/foam and a bad cover?

    Thanks! I was originally gonna go back with red but after some deliberations, I decided to go the unoriginal route! I am really glad that I went this route now but I have ran into one big problem though. I am too picky now, any little dirt I get on the fenders is instantly washed off! lol

    I'm on a white kick right now so I love it. I think my next project will have white plastic. Is the Clark tank stock sized or oversized?

    Thanks guys! The tank is the same capacity as a stocker, it is not a perfect match with the fenders but you have to be nitpicking to really notice. It also didn't bolt on as easy as a factory one but it does work. I don't know how long this tank has sat on a shelf but it has been collecting dust for a long time, judging by how the lettering on the plastic looked.

    Thanks guys! Decals are next and after a bunch of thinking, I am gonna keep this color scheme. So, I am probably gonna do either red or blue decals.
