Damn, in 1999 I was nearly 10 years old. I like where this thread is going, keep us updated.

@Bandit1052 man...your skill level and your work makes me look bad. Impressive is a small word for your craftsmanship.

Thank you for asking! To be honest, I feel like I'm 90% functional, the only thing I have is a cough that I'm treating with syrup & over the counter medicine, so everything should be fine. Can't wait to go back to the garage so I can push the build forward.

Man, this build makes me wanna cry of anger & frustration! 😂😂😂

This build is SOOO CLEAN! It is really at a whole different level. Polishing casted aluminum it is a pain in the ass, but your wheels turned up amazing!

 

[GoodKat]

You should have polished me after that !! I looked a little more than fantastic 😂😂

😂😂😂

At the moment I'm still working more badly than right on my tank. And this sheet metal work doesn't suit me at all. I'll only show you the pictures when it's done.

C'mon, show us what are you working on. I'm sure it exceeds our expectations. Aluminum gas tank?

I see you haven't received my Christmas present to you yet. It's up to the Romanian post, not the German post. The package left Germany on December 16, 2021.

Hi Andy! No further updates from the carrier. Can't wait to receive the buttons & housings! Thanks again for the kind help!

So with the tank, it's going very, very, very slowly. You have to deal with the subject of sheet metal working with a form hammer first.
This is absolutely new to me !!!!!

So as already written the upper page was made by someone who can do it. What that person cannot keep his word is what the finished gas tank costs. I paid over double the agreed price and got a half-finished petrol tank for it.

This is the main reason why I started doing everything by myself. I'm tired of people wasting my money and my time.

You are doing a great work with your tank! Keep us updated!

In the meantime I have noticed that the first petrol tank builder is not the professional he claims to be. Got 8 !!!!! Places found with holes. My current welder (not a man of many words) closed it again even though the sheet steel was very thin.

One more reason to learn to do all the jobs by myself. I hate it when you are paying someone to do a good job and it just makes fun of you...
