All Steel Fuel Tanks

I've read a few posts about interest in steel fuel tanks for board track racers. I would be willing to build some for those interested. My good friend, Matt @ Reel Adventures has posted some pictures of my btr on his thread. Look for "My friends first build'" title. I run a welding and fabrication business and am pretty busy with that but if time allows and you are patient I might be able help you out.

Do you have any price quotes for a cyclendrical steel tank like yours, but made to fit a stock Worksman Newsboy frame?

Thanks!

I too would wand to use a cylindrical I do not have a straight line at all on this bike frame but two cylinders one on each side of thegap in the supposidly straight bars would serve me well. I wonder about brass or steel pipe with end caps

I thinking about $250. The one I built for Matt took about a day, materials weren,t but about $20. It is just a lot of work. On my bike I had to roll main cylinder, 2 cones and 2 end caps, turned brass filler on lathe, 2 bungs for filler and outlet then i sealed inside with motorcycle tank sealer it took about 2 days. I have a new stock worksman bike at the shop now I could use as sample for a "stock" tank that I could build over and over and then mabe shave some time of the project.

I will post pics of the build proccess of my new Indian square tank taht Rob did for me. It came out awesome and I roughed up the paint to make it look period correct etc.

It took us a full day to build it up, but it is done right!

Here is his first bike he built, cant wait to see the next one!!!!!

Here are some pics of my tank being built and also of the Model A that Rob hand built from scratch. The only thing he did not make were the tailgate and firewall. Everything else is from scratch.

Quite impressive. Have we seen your finished tank yet?

I will post a pic tomorrow. I painted it then messed it all up to make the paint look old. Came out awesome.
