I agree! In all the videos I have watched, they inflate the thing then chicken out once 3 or 4 holes have popped open with water squirting everywhere. That's what gave me the idea of deliberately keeping one pinhole as a slow pressure release valve.
The shell on the vehicle in the opening theme appears to be made from two parts, using hydroforming, each in one go? It looks a bit like an inflatable toy alligator. :)
That is not my car. It was hand made and welded together in sections. It took the owner a very long time to do it. I thought about hydroforming the whole tank but chickened out at having 600 gallons of water sloshing about ready to burst free! I thought it might crush under its own weight when starting to drain it as well unless I dug a tank shaped pit in my garden to support it.
Looking forward to the next one. Very interested to see how this goes. I suspect under pressure a lot more small holes will make themselves known!
