Gas Tank

I couldn't justify spending $300+ on a "chevy" gas tank that would probably be close enough to be the right size, however have the filler neck on the wrong side that I would have to modify anyways, so I built my own out of 16 gauge mild steel.  I'm going to be using the KBS gas tank sealer on the inside since my welds aren't the most perfect looking.  :)

I made a wooden frame out of 2X8's and 2X4's so i could bend the steel around it using ratchet straps, mini sledge, and clamps.  Once I got it where I wanted it, I tacked it with my harbor freight mig.  Had a little bit of a hard time getting the wooden frame out after I was done, had to cut the top and bottom brace, but was able to bang out to the two middle braces.
