    Hardware plating question

    Been looking for a plating company that can plate an entire frame with electroless black nickel. I think that kinda gives a good idea of what kinda build I’m working on. I’m really ocd and detail oriented and before I take any step, I have to learn every facet of that decision on every level...

    Fuel tank

    About to replace my leaky aux tank and was wondering if y'all had a favorite tank manufacturer. I'm about to order a bunch of parts from Duff but I'm not so sure about their "puncture resistant" tanks but it would be convenient to order most parts from the same place. I really like the WH...
