Seriously, the tank (new) is a work of art. Any more pics?
No diamond pleats, but was crap brown, stepped and followed the sissy bar up quite a ways. It weighed a ton!

A few more pics... I found a parts bike for $50 and I used it's nasty tank to experiment on. The tank had a bunch of bondo in it, but with the sides cut off, I was able to dolly it out good enough. The tig welded knee dents came out OK.
