Finishing the Tank

Getting all the metal work finished on the gas tank has proven to be a monumental task!  Curtis has spent countless hours cutting, welding, shaping, etc.  If I was paying for all the fabrication, the cost of the tank would be prohibitive.  But today we finally got the tank mounts completed and finished all of the work required to finalize the dash.  There's still a bit of work left on the tank such as mounting the tank badges and completing the modifications necessary to mount the speedometer but the worst (hopefully) is over.  A good friend, Andrew Peters, finished truing the spokes and mounting the tires to the wheels.  He also installed the wheel bearings.  I think the wheels with their new double whitewall tires look great.
