Default Custom Aluminum Diesel Tanks

Here are some aluminum fuel tanks that I designed and built for the all terrain track chair project I'm currently working on for a client in a wheelchair.
1/8" 5052 aluminum bent & rolled, and TIG welded together.
There is a left and a right, and they are exact mirrors of each other.
I designed the tanks in CAD, had the shapes laser cut out, and then I formed/rolled them to shape and TIG welded them together.

Here's a video of the design & assembly process:

I will have some more metal forming projects coming up as I work on some filler panels on the cab, and firewall.
If you want more info about the project, you can follow this link:
