$5 gas tank....

I bought this tank at a flea market for $5,,,big ugly sob,,had about 6 coats of somekinda paint job on it an looked like someone had try to kill it with a hachet...

so,, needin more fuel capacity than my 1.5 gal prizm,, i proceeded to remove all the crap paint, sand out all the gouges best i could, an remove about 1.5" outta the center



welded back up,,redid the tunnel, mounts,,added fuel outlet an bungs for a sight gauge... then the fun began,,i added a rib to it ,,.25 round stock ,  heated,tack,bend to shape,tack,repeatrepeatrepeat...most ive seen done were just tacked then bondo applied to make the shape,,i welded this one all the way around,,ground,sanded to shape,,after alotta fire an fury ..









WALLAAA!!   painted, an now resideing on my bike..
