    Looking for a good metalworker or metal fabricator to do some specialty gas tank work

    As the title says I'm looking for someone to do some specialty work...
    I have a 200x tank that is going onto my powroll bike. Now, for TT and flat track Powroll indented their tanks where the top of the forks and the trees go when they are turned, so that they could turn farther allowing the racer to come out of a slide. I'm looking to reproduce one of those tanks
    I have a tank that I can send to you
    For reference:

    Can't help you.One thing is make sure your tank is good and rust free.Make it easier to weld it up.

    Don't need to weld anything just shape it with a leather wrapped , and other techniques. Got any hot rod shops in your area?... or a junk tank to practice on?

    I've made several knee dent tanks for cafe bikes, it was a little sketchy at first but its really not that hard. Whereas you're going for a specific shape, its gonna take a little more finesse.
