Pretty but way too young.
My Willow has been around the block a few times and she is a bit Voluptuous.
Willow's bio:
(I pulled this from an escort service call girls bio. I found it to be hilarious. I changed the name to protect the innocent ;D )
Willow is a cosmic woman for the new millennium, a New Age professional of the future. A serious student of metaphysics, you will find her very knowledgeable in many New Age subjects such as; astrology, dream interpretation, tarot, past lives, spirit guides, and healing by massage.
Willow's hobbies are varied with sports, books, music, and chess. Of course an entertaining evening of either one of these interests, combined with fine dining, and a blockbuster movie, would make her purr like a kitten.
She has an ability to predict the future, but lives totally in the present. She never feels compelled to be grasping, controlling, or manipulative in order to live her life to the fullest.
Her heart is very kind and this is one of Her most endearing qualities, She has learned how to feel, to nurture, and to heal.
Being a cosmic woman, means being a master communicator, with words, gestures, and a soft touch she instills a quality of openness, warmth, and an intelligence that assures her that she has made real contact.
Her mind is liberated and true to it, her tears are genuine, her laughter comes from the heart, and her anger is truly bona fide. She projects instant love and acceptance, and reactions to her are either positive or negative.
Those who seek to be loved, and to experience true warmth, and caring will call her back time and time again. Those who pity themselves, and seek to complicate their lives (and mine) will find it very difficult to be around her.
For those more intimate encounters , Willow understands total fascination with the object of your desire, and well laid plans for slow, seductive arousal in an atmosphere where all your inhibitions are peeled away layer by layer, and the temperature slowly rises.
Ok now that you understand my Willow a little better can we get back to the build ;D ;D ?
A couple more photos from early this morning

Thanks man. I know I was cheating with those silhouette pics but they really did help me decided on the shape of the tank. Gave me a little inspiration to get going on things again too.
Anyhow, I was really leaning hard towards having a bunch more volume up front and went through a few different cardboard cut-outs. Sorry, I like to ramble....
Well anyhow, I appreciate the kind words

Re: Willow...An evolution..AKa Beat the clock
Well I've been spending some time working on making a tank. I have a lot of work to do but at least I have a good start.. My thoughts are board track/ bobber cross. I've been trying to find that balance.
I decided that I didn't want 90* corners with flat sides. Also didn't want radically round so i decided on a balance. Round steep corners with flat panels.
I used a trailer fender and cut it up into sections. The sections were re-arranged and welded back together to fit the backbone. CUt side panels to shape and tack them on then did the same for the bottom.
Next step is to cut out some knee dents mainly to give give the tank some shape when looking down from the top. I really think it will help change the way the way it looks from that angle. Right now its but ugly looking down from the top.
Oh, and here is a little inspiration that I've used throughout this whole build process: (I think you might see some similarities)

Fantastic man. That is almost exactly what I had in my head for your tank.
I am thinking some brass or leather straps across the top that hold it in place. What did you have in mind for mounting?

Re: Willow...An evolution..AKa Beat the clock
Thanks man. Yeah at first I was going to have it follow the down tube off the steer tube but decided it would make it a little too boxy. I lost a little volume but I think the shape from the side flows a little better.
I'm not sure yet on how to mount it. Leather or brass would fit really well. However, I'm wanting to keep the backbone clean and don't want to put something over it. That could change??

Re: Willow...An evolution..AKa Beat the clock
you can see all the marks for knee cut-outs. If I do that it will change the 'rolled edge in those areas. They will be at 90* angles. At the moment I think it will give the tank a little more definition and will really help the view from the top.

Could always counter sink some bungs into the underside of the backbone, and run bolts through the underside of the tank. It would appear that the tank was just floating in that space. Of course, you would have to have the motor out to get to the bolts, but it would be super clean.

Re: Willow...An evolution..AKa Beat the clock
I like mounting both ways. The sleeve through the tank really would keep it clean. The front could be done with the motor in and the back one by removing the carbs. Nice!
Thanks benarmour....ask and you shall receive:
Cut outs:
That's only 1.5" off each side but it really made a difference

Holy shit Troy, that is incredible! It is the perfect fit. I was going to post I liekd it last night but my son called and I never got back to the PC. Glad I didn't as the knee dents make it. The side was good but I agreed about the from the top./ those dents fix that and then some. Now as for the holding it on. What about brass straps attached under the backbone, then threaded rod on the tank that go up through holes in the straps and brass wing nuts to hold it on. If I get a chance to draw it I will to make it clearer.
Love it.

Yep, there it is, perfection.
After looking at it, you are right, Troy. You could definitely get to the front one with the motor in, and the rear one with the removal of the carbs. Do it up, sir.

Ok I see how you and Justin were thinking of mounting the tank, but I liek the idea of the brass straps. You could do it like this to keep the backbone clean.
Not sure the pic is any good but might make it more clear. I would also put rubber grommets under the brass straps between it and the tank, won't see it but cut vibration a lot. Also lock washers under the brass wing nust. Or you could use Acorn nuts too.
