Just a shot of a project I've been working on. I hate building gas tanks but I hate the ones that come with the kits even more....soooooooooooooooooooo
Not perfect but I like it....still have things to do change redo....but I know how we all love pictures...esp....Venice
Later and have a great Labor day weekend...

Nope its steel. Its about a 1/16 inch thick that my welder just love blowing through. Drives me crazy. Wish I had more metal working tools I would be a gas tank building mother....going to have to save up and get a tig...then IM going to have to learn how to use it..lol...
But its steel jb'd all the seams layers of bondo wet sanded etc etc...then my clear coat yellowed soooooo...need to get some gas tank sealer though. The new job is going to slow me down some till I get everything going again.
But after I get things done its going black just did white for now to see what it looked like together.
