    Tomorrow I will use my new driveway drawbridge to experience the roads. The car has primarily been landlocked due to my driveway. I'll update with photos tomorrow.

    Quick question in the interim: why a fuel tank on each side of the car? Or is one for gas and another for something else? Any help is appreciated.

    Also, if I open the back where the engine is, should I also have the front open? I'm afraid to tilt the car though having the front opened up does not stress the car.

    Cheers!

    A fuel tank is on each side of the car for convenience. Both are for gas, and they are connected, so use either one to fill.

    Its perfectly okay to open just the rear hood, it'll bear no stress upon the car's chassis whatsoever, and the front does not need to be open meanwhile. The rear hood is (DOT-mandate) reinforced, is its rather heavy, and until you are comfortable with opening & closing it on your own, its a good idea to have someone help you perform this function.

    Enjoy!
