My 130 Gallon Starfire Cube Tank

Thanks Delphinus and Lastlight.
Delphinus, I have an all original (except new tires) 67 coupe with rare factory option rear end. Candy apple red with 108,000 miles. Only 250 were made with these specs.
I will try to post pics of that to.
P.S. you should have never sold yours!

Yeah, I don't consider that one of my finer moments. You don't want to know the price I ended up selling it at..

My parents were never keen on it and kept pressuring me to "get rid of that thing." Although I know that sounds lame NOW, but .. well, maybe I'll just leave the insanities of my family dynamics out of this.

But the other problem was I was 22 years old, broker than stink, economically things weren't great at the time, and it needed a lot of body work in its future that was completely beyond my means at the time. (It had been big time bondo job in the 80's and it was all falling off and bubbling up in spots.) I've been meaning to find another one day.. maybe if I ever finish my building my tank.

There's actually a car thread in here.. if you want to post it there. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=50758&

And, uh, sorry for diluting your tank thread build BTW.

Can't wait to hear more about the tank!

Thanks for the car thread Delphinus
I will have to start one for my Mustang.
I hope one day you will find another mustang, the good ones are getting rare.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics for you.

Ok I haven't seen that many pvc unions on 1000 gallon builds!! That is IMPRESSIVE! You have unions on unions so you can remove unions!

Really nice looking tank. Who built it?

I love these cube builds, there's so much you can do with them!

My friend owns a plumbing and mechanical company so I took advantage of the wholesale pricing!

Wow, very nice build. May I ask who build it, they did a great job. I like the idea of black glass on the sump.

Look forward to see its progress, keep us posted.
