if you get too bored you can come to texas and make mine look like that

Is that stainless or aluminum? If it's stainless you might crank your purge a little more and drop your amperage a little bit it will lap the edges in more of a rounded corner. If it's aluminum forget what I said and keep up the good work. Once you get the tig down you'll never want to weld any other way.

For a Custom look you nailed it! I like how the raggy ratRodders do it, tho' with other bottle types. To me that is cool. Mine is a stock survivor!

My buddy would be doing most of the work. He's the pro. He said around $105. The size is 7 x 6 x 5. Comes with 1/4" npt bung on bottom, undrilled ears for mounting where you want, and cap/bung on top. The cap is $30 by itself.

I've seen them on ebay for $165.

Will you be at "Run to the Sun"? I'd like to see your work.
