Thanks.. I have some before & in process pics of those tins.. They were rough. the rear fender was all twisted with a nice rust hole under the hinge..yippy I’ll try to remember and post em
I wasn’t real excited about welding the emblem brackets on the tank and having to dent the tank so the screws could protrude through.. but there was no way around it..
some lovely work there.
iam curious to what yous guys use for doing your fine line work? i use wurth fine line tape but everytine i try to make a bend with it, it always starts lifting and leaves very ragged edges[quote=”reidy” post=26298]some lovely work there.

IMO the blue bends (stretches) around corners better.. I always try to remove the tape ASAP to keep it from bridging.. I also do a quick light wipe with wax and grease remover to knock the edge down a little.. In my experience the only way around the ragged edges is to not hammer on the product and remove the fine line ASAP.. I try to remove when things are still a little wet..(yeah be careful)
