faux oil tan? tank braces? don't say! 
Yeah brother, leather straps around the tank always looks awesome...
and that just gave me an idea for mine. Studded dog collars.

Came out awesome so far. Interested in how the distressed look comes to be.
Looking good! Don't stress about the 'distress'....!

That is some tight lettering, I worked as a tattooist for 5 years and I couldn't pull lines like that..possibly why I'm no longer tattooing.
That tank looks perfecto! You're really putting your pinstriping super powers to good use on this one.

Thanks, ML!! Just for comparison, the "I" is just over 1" tall...

Working on a few ideas before the grands get here for the afternoon...
One of the old "hot rod" tricks I was saving for later in the build...in the early days of "gow jobs" and "jalopies", the racers would wrap their steering wheels in small diameter chord for increased grip. Here's ElgIndian's take on racer wrap...
