Default Making a 1950 David Brown Tractor Fuel Tank From Scratch

Hi folks. I’ve been commissioned to make a David Brown 1950 Tractor fuel tank from scratch. It’s a nice project, with a few quirks, so maybe of interest to others.

I played around with a few techniques - particularly shrinking - as I wanted to see which method would work best/fastest for the given situation. Of particular interest was an old school method of torch shrinking I hadn’t done in a while. Time to fire up the oxy-acetylene 👍

Hope you like the project as it slowly evolves.

Here’s the knackered, rusted out tank. DB only made 330 of These, so very scarce!
