[img] [/img] Started by making a paper pattern. [img] [/img] Got pattern done and formlulated a plan [img] [/img] Progress after making tucks using my tucking fork.Will have to go on hold till I make a shrinking hammer out of plastic.My wooden bossing mallets cant hack it. | |

| Had to take another approach at this tank .Metal started spliting on first attempt. [img] [/img] Access when shaping and working on welds is important to think about. Quite abit different than original tank.But it will do. | |

| Started on a tank.Not sure what bike to put on but needed to get out of my head . [img] [/img] Wire buck. [img] [/img] Made a pattern using duct tape.Was gona try make top out of two pieces but found to much stretching so making out of four. [img] [/img] First piece [img] [/img] Four pieces was a good idea. Only took bout 2 1/2 hrs to do and still got plenty thick ness in panels for metal finishing. | |
