Thanks guys.
But how do I hold it in place? Can it be tack welded, or is metal too thin? Epoxy?

JBW will work. It's holding the wings on the hood ornament on Flexy just fine.

Ok I'll give it a try. Never used it before. Thanks guys.
And one more thing, do I go asymmetric and just "vent" the one rotted out half of tank, or do I have to do the good side too?

Do the rotted one first. If looks goofy, do the other.

I would say test with it one sided first, but I am guessing it will look better on both sides.
One idea for the grill if you don't want it to be so see through is to line it from behind with a red plastic binder from Office Depot. That is what I used for the chainguard louvers on FlexLiner. You could even light it up from behind.
I really like how that grill turned out!!!

I'm beginning to think that my ColorFlow was really a JetFlow after looking at this photo:
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=33762&p=596628#p596333
same chrome fenders. Same chain guard as mine.
Still going to use the ColorFlow tank, just sayin.

Cleaned and painted the seat today. It looks fantastic! When assembled it will be very cool.

all I got done this past weekend was to strip off the top layer of paint and reveal the manufacturers tag:
Haven't decided if I'll go with a patina build or a repaint yet. If repaint, I'm leaning towards flat red today. Tomorrow, who knows what color...
can anyone verify the year of this for me? I was told it's a '57
