BCBlitz's name is Terry
Where's BCBlitz's name??? Its below his name when you view the thread, but you can't see it when you reply on MLU.
Terry has a good point, and it is not hard to roll up a tank. The ends are crimped into the body, but if you were to place them about 5-7mm inside the body & weld it up, it would look very genuine. Also NO RUST inside.
As long as you had a filler neck & a sender (if you wanted it), you would be right. Any decent sheet metal shop could make it in a few hours. (I estimate about 1 1/2 by a good sheety.
NOTE:
Don't throw away your old tanks either: Someone might want to repair them one day. Pinholed, dented, split...they are repairable. It is just time & effort vs. cost.
