BONINE Tanks

[kingfish254]

Has anyone else noticed how many cool tanks are being done this year?
They are made out of car tags, plexiglass, fiberglass, wood, pedal tractors, steel etc.
Below are just a few that come to mind, but there is some very creative and cool tank work going on out there!!!

You're right, there has been some cool ones showing up this year. It can be a focal point for a bike, so a unique tank can make all the difference.

OK, it's now in primer so it doesn't look like a T-Rex bone anymore. Haha! After thinking about it for awhile, they're might be something to building a "bone" bike. I'm not really into the whole theme bike thing but maybe a Fred Flintstone inspired bike??

 

[GuitarlCarl]

yeah we had a zombie thing goin in one of the threads before BONINE started... bones would be good on a zombie bike...
The tank is lookin' good!
