Nice tank mod. Did you drill holes in your frame to save on weight?

Yes, that was the practice early on. I didnt drill all the way through I didnt want to weaken the frame that much because I still rode in the dunes as well as sand drag it.201211 Heres what it looked like as a sand drag/duner in the early 90s
