getting tanked on a sunday...

[sensor]

i dont know if this is the correct place for this if not pm me please(moderator) and ill move it to where it needs to be(im guessing since it is scratch built itll be fine).
now...lets get tanked!
moto-bike tanked that is
got the thing cut and bent and tacked togeather when i noticed i pulled a bonehead move and was off 1/8" from side to side(sorry dont have any pictures of that since i hadnt planned on posting this)
but i cut the thing apart and got it sorted out...

after that i welded the top back on :roll:

filed the welds down and started sealing it up(again! :lol: )

(dont mid the grinder marks...it was hot rolled steel and that was the only way i could get the freakin' scale off to weld it)

yup...that dykem is for a door...yeah im going to cut it apart again after i just finished it for a second time :lol: :lol:

oh no! what have i done?!?!?
stay tuned for another boring installment of Plan9Customs presents! :lol:

I think I know a good home for this...

 

[poverty with a view]

I would say you built that from scratch. :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Man you make that look so easy. I know its not. There is such a fine line between getting
a weld smooth and grinding off too much and it falling apart. Nice job. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Happiness is a clean shop. :lol:

d'oh!
forgot to put the finished pictures

i didnt want the door flapping around in the breeze so had to make a latch...

and basically that ends our boring sunday afternoon...
i need to get a piece or 1" tubing but i have none here so i have to try to borrow a scrap from the steel shop and then itll be on its way home!

 

[chimichanga]

[CRASH]

That's awesome! :shock:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

May be a little nosey but what do you charge to build one?

 

[Gold Street Customs]

And here's the tank in its hopefully to be finished in a timely matter soon home.

It came out real nice, I also have the top straps not pictured, as far as price, he told me $100 but I would pm him for confirmation :wink:
