A customer dropped off a '68 BSA gas tank for me to duplicate in aluminum. Apparently, BSA made the tanks out of fiberglass...who knew...right? Well after 40 plus years of abuse and being subjected to today's fuels, it has developed a leak.
I had some 0.060" thick 3000 series sheet lying around so I did a little test piece before I start on the real tank. I am fairly pleased with how it turned out and once again realized why I like working with aluminum so much more that steel.
Material should be in this weekend...so I'll get started soon. First thing I have to do is make the buck...more to come.
