It's kind of odd that Ford made the lines on the tank straight, whereas the body has a nice curve. We're going to remake the tank and rear spreader bar to have the same subtle curve as the body. |
 |
First thing we're going to do is make a new piece for the inset area of the tank. Here we're getting the proper curve with the roller. |
 |
Now in the English wheel, we'll give it the concave curve to match the body curve. |
 |
Phil made the rear spreader, doing a fantastic job at matching the body curve. Here we have the correct curve in the tank piece. |
 |
We've added the inset with a bead roller, using a step die. |
 |
We're now ready to add the piece to the tank. |
 |
We've cut the section out of the tank that we're going to replace. |

All
welded and back in the car. A nice subtle change that really
improves this area.
