Thanks, yes it was. Kicking myself that I did not grab 4 or 5 sheets for later or to make a larger tank.

I know. Long road getting the ugly chores done so I can get to the FUN chores.

Tho I hope I do not get caught up playing Mass Effect 2... My stepsons are incouraging me to get started with the game. This will test my time management skills :ROFL:

Beautiful weekend... Gonna cut the tank come hell or high water.

Quick ? b4 I start cutting.

How much lip for an all ply tank for the front panel? Garf.org says 2" all around, some I see look to be 1".

What is the rule of thumb here?

thanks

Advice??
