fuel cell done
I finished the new fuel cell for the Willys. I thought I would like the raw look with the welds showing but I decided to polish it inistead. I had a decal company make a carton decal of the willys that I am going to put in the middle of the tank after I install it. In fact he sent me two of them so I think I will put the other one in the middle of the back door of the trailer
. What do you think?

I just used a 9" grinder with a 10" sisel buffing wheel and some white rouge compound.

Denny,
Man I wish I could do the photo shop thing, thanks.
Not stainless just aluminum.

Very nice work!
Wish I had the skills and tools (mostly skills!) to pull that off... I like the decal too.
