Aluminum Gas Tanks by CCC

[culvercityclassic]

I am always looking for an easy way to make gas tanks since I just dread making them. Here are a couple that started as square and round tubing. The rest of the tank will be made out of sheet...

Those look good. I can undersatnd why you want to find an easy way to make them. Those don't look easy.

I am taking over on the frame.... It's called a WCC Special. That is special for special order. Lol

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.

You using a sabre saw to cut those tubes Jeff? They both look really nice!

Are you into hammering rounded sides?

Sorry Culver,not being a smart a$$ just like that style of frame! Looks like a Schwinn type frame. And again Thanks.
