No pictures to load up yet still on my buddy's camera, but i am building a Warrior chassis that i bought off of DVS1 last thursday. We got started on it this weekend, got the seats set and mounted, pedals mounted, the leftover front support and floor bars in, floor mounted (stole someones idea with welding the nuts to the floor tabs for quick removal for cleaning) and some other stuff set up going to work on it in a little bit. Sorry hope to get pictures up soon!

Are you going to run a lock washer on the bolt?

Believe me, I argued for three weeks about that keg, but that is what that guy wanted. I see that the rain that night didn't help at all either.

Fuel cells don't cost that much. Check ebay. You might want to leave building fuel tanks to the pro's. Just stick with what you are good at. Which seems to be sexy poses with your frame.
