I think I mentioned this before, but, kitchen sink! They make great tanks, grills (cyclecart), bay covers, etc. You can find them dirt cheap or free used.
New build. Project board track racer #2

Yes you have mentioned this a few times. Still not sure of what you mean by this. But yes kitchen sink. They are great for building a pile of dirty dishes.

If you get a used stainless kitchen sink and section it, you get a left and right tank halves with nice symmetrical curves and the drain hole can be used as the fill spout.

Low voltage downhill MIG welding on 21 gauge steel. Professionals only. Dont try this at home. Lol. Tank joined and blended flawlessly. Well one side anyways The only way to get the tank you want is to build it yourself. If you cant, then gimmie a holler.

From Trick into Sick. Lowered the rear tire to raise the back end 4 inches. If you look at the white deepfreezer n the background you will notice a little square above the seat in first and second pics. That is how high I actually stretched this bike. It made a world difference. Now it has a stance worthy of that tank. This thangs gonna get alot of attention when its done.

Bought a $35 chopper solo seat off ebay. Again it was way to large for my bike. So i cut the leather, foam and seat pan down to size. Then reshaped it. Now i just gotta get the ol crow to sew it up for me and I will have a close to authentic looking tracker seat.

Went ahead and stiched the seat together. Not the prettiest job but it will do for now

Looks good. Now go back over it and stitch it the other way and it will look like it was meant to be.
