Where did you get the gas cap?

The cap was found on ebay...an "original" model T radiator cap and neck that I soldered onto the copper tank.

Nice work on the copper tank. If my PVC tank doesn't work out I'm going to go with a copper one.

Beautiful looking bike!! I love the tank and the fuel line too.

You know, in the first pic with the cutout in the clutch cover and the third pic with the clutch arm cover off I though at first you might have bolted the clutch solid and were going for the real clutchless boardtrack effect. Not very practical I know but in keeping with the original concept of the boardtracker anyways. I might consider that myself when I get around to building my first boardtracker.

BTW, how did you conceal the rivets after soldering the tank?

tank .. and fuel line

Is that a Model T radiator cap on your gas tank?

edit - oops I just found that on pg 3. I have a couple Model T's and recognized the cap. Nice touch!
