in short. it looks absolutely dreadful. 
still has a few rough edges to get off, and my "no tape measure" method had a few issues. but. its sturdy and so far hasn't fallen off. i need to get another panel to seal off the back and level it off. i put some curve into the rear cross to help with the load.
anyway. so far i can definitely tell a difference. it coasts much farther then before. and my instant gauge reads a few miles higher than usual. so hopefully this tank will go awhile further. |
I don't think it looks all that bad.
My ABS cutting method may help with the polycarbonate. I use a straight edge and run a box cutter knife where I want the cut. I run the box cutter over and over the line until I get a nice groove cut into the material. With ABS, I can then bend the sheet and it breaks along the line I cut. Most of the time. If I cheat and don't cut it deep enough, then it can fracture off the line.
