Boards Track Racer Tank, anybody? I NEED HELP

[turner22]

Hey fellas-

So I'm working on a pretty sweet mix between a real vintage cafe and a boardtracker. The snag here is the tank. I shot an email to the Halcyon guy but haven't heard back. Fiberglass? Welded steel? Anything is appreciated!! i'l post pics when finished.

No sence making it overly complicated. (heh)

Floral foam, steak knife and fiberglass. Maybe some tin foil to cover the foam to keep it from melting from the resin.

What kind of tank?
Flat plate? or more of a 3d version?

If your interested in what it takes to make a sheetmetal tank... I plan on updating my tank thread with more pics here soon.
