im trying to keep her all period correct(except for the tubes and tires)......but those look pretty cool............hmmmmmmmm maybe ol gramps needs some :wink:
and heres some more of the almost finished tank(ran outta gas :x :x )

just afew more fittings and she'll be ready fore some primer :shock:

 

[ej599]

Cool tank. Suggestion; weld a couple threaded pipe fittingsone high, one low, screw in come elbows and run clear plastic tube between the 2 like a sight tube fuel gauge-maybe even seal it some how and put gas colored liquid in side.

There are some on the bay, $90 bucks, but...this bike deserves them

 

[sensor]

thanks for looking out for me skoda! couldnt find any one with originals that wanted to part with them :shock:
i finally gave in and called memorylane on my lunch today. so ill have some repops on her(the plus side is my father in law is an amazing woodworker and made me a great set of redwood blocks thatll be going on her!)

 

[karfer67]

kool good job boy your car is going to be stuffed with bikes lol. i love this bike cant wait to see it in person

 

[sensor]

well the tank has got 2 coats of dplf now and with out further au du........the hanging tank :roll:

dunno if im gonna keep this one yet(probably end up making another on cuz this sits alittle to low in a spot and picks up every vibration and amplifies it!) if this one does stay ill glaze the edges and smooth everything out but for now.........itll work
shes got her new torringtons also :shock: (thanks memory lane!)
next thing will be the complete and final(yeah right...are they ever done?!?!?)pics
