propane tank holder

So my son started putting a gas tank in his boat/car and my propane powered truck was if front of garage and the tank for some reason is leaking out fill valve.To move it i needed to make holder for 5 gallon propane tank so it wouldn`t fall off ......

first found an old mud drag jeep rim and tank fit in real good but didn`t want to waste it

so i dug around and found jeep rim with riveted center section.

then ground & popped rivets and center came out

then cut notches to fit snug to frame

then added square tube for more weld area

Then my 12 year old welded it to frame (on a side note MAN! that kid needs more sun)

quick paint job and truck is now under its own power

Ok this project is more for around yard than road legal but now if someone does buy it they can drive it home.Or if you were to make one of those colossal size bbqs this might work for you.And when people do the whole write up then post pics it looks better but i can`t think that far ahead of myself.

:thumbup: Nice fit on that tank, looks good! Way to get the boy out there started young on some metal working/welding skills! Always good to have father/son projects, so they learn useful stuff, stay outta trouble, and get a chance to hang out with Dad too :D I was lucky enough to pick up carpentry from my dad.

I need a little helper while I take pics...... :lol: ........ ... .. too bad they are only helpfull from 11 to 14yrs old

 

Actually this one was being forced because he`s more,,way more,,of a little bookworm than a car person.He seems to want to go into the legal field like his mom rather than be a dirt bag like his dad. blink.giflol.gif
