    fuel cell done

     



    I finished the new fuel cell for the Willys. I thought I would like the raw look with the welds showing but I decided to polish it inistead. I had a decal company make a carton decal of the willys that I am going to put in the middle of the tank after I install it. In fact he sent me two of them so I think I will put the other one in the middle of the back door of the trailer . What do you think?

    I just used a 9" grinder with a 10" sisel buffing wheel and some white rouge compound.

    Very nice work! Wish I had the skills and tools (mostly skills!) to pull that off... I like the decal too.

    I wish I could TIG aluminum like that. My AL welds look like toothpaste.
