    Default Ripped It Out Pt 2modified!

    OK... still working on the diamond tread. But I was reading another thread where (forgot the name) said that he left his out for the extra storage space.
    Well, I like storage space!

    I like it! Looks very clean and ever since i did my cut & fold i can't believe how much wasted space there is in there.

    Although keep in mind in even a minor hit in the side it will crumble, so chemicals may not be the best idea to store there. In compression they would spray everywhere and being flammable a spark would set it up for disaster.

    Gotta run to WalyWorld and pick up some more trim for the inner cut-out edge...
    Otherwise I cut the openings in the diamond tread.
