The thing is apart. I'm not sure how to protect the face from fading in the Arizona sun. I suspect that whatever I print will last about six minutes.
The tank didn't pass the chemical strip. The bottom is swiss cheese. It looks good though.
I picked up another tank at a local salvage for $20 and it's off to the strip club for some work. Heres to hoping that this one isn't as far gone. If it makes it out the other side in one piece I'll be moving the Petcock bung so that it clears the frame and carbs and removing the leveling tubes. I'm perfectly happy to tip the bike over to get to my "reserve" fuel if it means that I don't have gasoline leaking all over the place every time I need to pull the tank off the bike.
Heres the toasted tank on the bike. Looks good. Everything else is running great, just waiting on reliable fuel storage to get her on the road.
