This is an interesting forum.  Dude spends 5 minutes wrapping his tank in aluminum foil and gets 12 replies to his thread.

I spend 2 full days repainting my tank (having never painted anything before) to make it look magnificent and get 3 posts on my build thread.  Something is wrong here.

Ok I feel a little better now.

A monkey can paint a tank. 

To conceptualize and execute what this gifted fellow did is beyond comprehension!  Brilliance is the first word that comes to mind.

Sherlock, how long have you been aware of your exceptional talent?

When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow

If we think it looks good now....

.....wait till it comes out of the oven!

Sherlock,
What cooking time do you recommend, and should you baste half-way through with a little unleaded?

Couldn't fit it in the oven and because of the combustable nature of gasoline, chose to use oil circulating space heater in the shop as my heat source. Basted with caswell's tank sealer and cooked for 48 hours.
