Making A Vintage Style Gas Tank

New in the shop this week - Dr. Roger's 1938 Dodge pickup. It's old gas tank is a leaker. It had completely rotted out and an earlier repair with All-Metal filler was about to blow, so Eric and Bob made a new one to look like the old one. In the past, artists and manufacturers always added embellishments to even the everyday items.
You can see the old tank in the background.The tank will be powder coated in black.
The '38 truck is in the shop for re-conditioning and 3-point seat belts.
Dr. Rogers' and his wife owe their life to 3-point seat belts.
