RaTs GaSs Day #4

So, according to the tracking, my triple tree fork should be here tomorrow. While I wait like a kid on Christmas Eve day, I got into a project for one of my 'add ons' , gee gaws as some of my Southern friends refer to them.

In my dreaming / research stages of my R.G. build, I learned that the gasser had that small, 2 gal max tank bolted on the front of the car in order to lighten the car, and have just enough fuel to get down the track. I thought that tank was really a unique part of the gasser look, so I went about finding a 'close to scale' version for the build.

From my early beer drinking days, around age 13 or so, I remembered our iconic local brewery brand Hamm's, had a barrel shaped can for a short time. Sure enough, I found a few on the 'bay. I had it shipped to me in Feb in AZ, and hauled it home with a few other goodies back to it's place of origin; St Paul, MN.

Today I primed it, and sprayed it with a metallic color out by the paint stump in the BACK40.

Rat Fink approves! And ol' O.J. is pretty pleased too.

Rat Fink is thinking "Fink need a straw".

So, we know what is becoming of the vintage Hamm's can.

What do you think the Fink has planned for the souvenir Park Tool cup?

Correct guessers will be put in a hat and one name will be drawn to get one of these mailed to them straight out of the BACK40 ! Go!

Sometimes it's the simplest solution that works
