Display Case
« on: July 12, 2012, 09:03:27 AM »
I  was a  running in to a forum member's house to consumate a deal on a tank a couple summers ago.

As we were vacationing the whole fam damily was in the van and my aunt said she was asking what I was going to do with a gas tank. (Get a good deal on it of course.)  My snobbish  Brother GQ sharply quipped "He'll probably put it in the living room."  Some people just don't get it right? 

Well I accidently ended up winning an auction on this lighted  display case, but I really think it works better in the entry way.

Looking good!

Should probably seek medical help - you seem have some kind of a tank dependency. Maybe latent sucking instinct? ;) :D

Na, too small.
You need a bigger display case to really show the tanks.

Yeah, you would need a bigger cabinet than just a curio one.

They do fit a little bit snug but the house is already overcrowded with furniture that I'm not supposed to get rid of.  I sure hope it's prissy enough looking for my brother.

If you're looking for a black bomber tank that one is bridgestone.
