so a good friend donated an old EELCO 2.5 gallon tank
for the 55 gasser build, complete with stanchions, hold
downs, cap, etc... i was going to mount it up front like
the old gassers but use it as a puketank for the radiator.
it actually has drag history to it, was on an altered he
crewed on back in the 70's.
a quick fleabay perusal shows an n.o.s. set of JUST the
stanchions and hold downs-no tank- at $995 buy it now.
thats insane. i think i need to give it back to him and tell
him to sell it, i realize its only worth what someones willing
to pay, but D@MN that thing may as well be solid gold.
so how do i do it without insulting him? any ideas?
i didnt know they were that expensive and i dont know if
he does either, you know what i mean?
seems silly to use something that expensive on my
ghetto ride when a no name chinesium one is around
$150 and would work just fine for me. and im sure
he could find a buyer for quite a bit, maybe not as
much as fleabay here, but still.
just dont want to 'take advantage' of a friend if he didnt know
what he had. (i had no clue either.)
