Shiney...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I was tuning the carburetors then the tank fell. Next time I do a carb tuneup , I'll use my lawnmower tank.  :yes:

Looks great! Deep. What kind of paint? Urethane? Imron? Lacquer?

I think 1tinindian is referring to the "illusion" that the gas cap seems to be raised up about 1/2 " or so from the tank?

THAT!
And it appears too far forward.
We need more details!
The condition of the paint looks very nice though.

Paint looks good filler looks like they welded a late model filler onto a early model tank.
