Awesome work RichD. Think you could do a gas tank?... is that even possible? It has been fixed with JB weld, but that will only last so long Im sure.

It would need to be empty, of course... washed clean and vented -no fumes.
I don't claim to have great eyebrows or anything, but I'd like to keep them all the same.

If you scrub the weld area shiny bright clean (down to the metal, no paint, JB Weld, Grease, etc.)  for 3/8"-1/2" around the weld area
I think it would be a quick job.
