Lots going on in the Bad Ast shop this week! I brought the tank home tonight. Should be good to go after a couple of pressure testing sessions and fixing a few pinholes. Jesse did an excellant job welding this thing up. There is a bit of warpage but it is all in areas that will not be visible so it is all good.
Sitting back in the van as a one piece deal this time.

After I cleaned it up a bit. Sitting on saw horses in front of the shop.

There is a butt-load of welding here. To do all of this and have only three pinholes is incredible in my book.

You can see a bit of warpage on this long flange. This is the upper bolt flange.

I will fill it with water and let it sit for a while to see if it weeps any.
I am thinking I will get the inside coated, just for piece of mind. Gas Tank Renu is right here in Swartz Creek so I think I will call them.
I am also thinking about having it powder coated black. What do you think?
