Yesterday, we received pictures of the next construction phase of our new Engine/Tanker. In our previous story, they were to start cutting and bend the metal for the body fabrication. This week, they began putting all of the pieces of the body together and should be ready to set the body on the chassis by the beginning of next week (11/16/15). Also, the poly-tank has arrived at the 4-Guys plant. Here are the latest pictures.
