once more - from the top...

Is that the tank I sold you???

Another cool way to do the knee indents is to weld a 3/8 piece of round stock to the tank in the pattern you want and then start pounding with a rounded body hammer. Then cut of the round stock and finish her up. I will be doing a CB 500 tank here shortly and will post pics.

Teal you could do something real sick and do some brushed engraving in the tank scallop area and then Kandy color over it in multiple colors. This really makes the Kandy colors go BANG. Just a sick effect. Becareful not to over do it. I believe this very technique was used by OCC on the David Mann bike.

I was thinking about doing some "ingraving" on the tank, and see how it turns out.
