Sorry Bill, can’t help you with images. Would enjoy following your construction. Are you planning to do this tank in brass?
…gregg
Gregg yes I am doing it .020 sheet stock brass started wile a 75000 gal tack from PSCthen I started cutting the thing in pieces and then building new parts. Then putting back together. It has 4 courses the PSC has 3 . It will look nice when done, I am about 80% done with the fabrication.
Yet I am nuts love to cut things up. Remember the 1000.00 Wasatch U P car I made the one and only St.LBM RPO car.
