We have reached the Metal Age

So I haven't sat down and chilled in quite a while. Ever since I bought the bike I have caught the tinkering bug that I have never built an immunity to. But this time tinkering has turned into TIG welding. No I have never welded before- might as well practice a bit and chop into the fuel tank for modification. CRIPES!! What am I thinking? I hear there are combustibles in those fuel tanks.
Oh well. Still alive to type-
I had to chop the rust out of the old tank I was given. But since my welding pretty much blows still I bought a stock tank that can just be painted and away we'll go.
I'll continue to work on the tank and turn it into a 50's cafe classic... until then I'll use one that doesn't leak at the seams:-)
