Re: Aluminum Gas Tanks by CCC
it helps making a cardboard template first. transfer the pattern on to the sheet and cut.
I was considering this with my build. it is a good use of unused space. plus you had the basic frame of the tank already there.
I love the reverse curve on the backstays.
there was that copper pasta container posted on here, which is also very neat.

Yes cardboard is good and I do use my share of it but wood works real good too.
