Flybytaco,
I had this tank all welded up and thought about you and how you want a rough finish tank. I almost didn't grind it out, but figured I better just finish this one up to get an idea of total fab time. They really look hand made anyway, and I think you will be happier with the totally finished version. Besides, these things take on a mind of their own so it's hard to make every weld perfect on sheet metal. There is probably two feet of welding on this thing and that gives me plenty of time to screw it up. Talk to Justin, but I could just as easily send it out to you.
