Nice job. Where did you get the measurements? I'm looking to do my own tank also. What thickness and grade aluminum did you use? need Info.

Thanks Steve

sent you a pm where i got measurements. usually if bending alum its H-32 OR 5052 I do believe. based on the gauge number listed we calculated at 1/8" thick.

What is the cost? And how long does it take? And do you have to have a TIG welder?
