Seems like this would be a good choice for us guys with limited welding/brazing/soldering equipment. I'm just curious. If you're gonna paint it anyway???
Gas Tank why not Tin??

I've found an excellent source for small sheets of good quality thin steel, suitable for cutting/folding for boxes/tanks/whatever.
Goodwill.
Used cookie sheets. I can get them here for $.50 each for the largest size. I've made two battery boxes, and one oval cross section small fuel tank from them. Welds nicely, stiff enough to hold a formed shape well and not easily crushed.

Reuse, repurpose...cookie sheets!
I've been thinking about going to the dump...er...I mean transfer station and cutting a piece off the side of an oven or fridge. If I could find cookie sheets at Goodie's, or Aunt Sally's, that would make it even better. Thanks

Reduce, reuse, re-animate?
Has anyone thought of using computer CPU tower covers? These things are clogging metal recyclers' bins by the ton. Lotta steel there once you burn off the paint.

Great suggestion! I am throwing out an old (and extremely in efficient window A/C unit...and noticed how much sheet metal was on it!
