On the tanks that you made for the old cars , Did you tip the end plates and then fold the tank body over to capture the end plate? Then solder.

Yes, I followed the original design to the last rivet and seam - except for using stainless.
End panels flanged, inserted into shell, and shell flanged over and hemmed onto ends, then soldered complete.

The 1914 tank has no beads to stop the end panels against. I tack solder the ends when inserted, then turn flanges over, and hem them in.
The 1934 does have inset beads, so easier to bang in, bang over, and bang down.

I have zero experience with tanks ( all kinds of other stuff but not this )


Thanks for looking

Restaurant equipment fabricators have 3/4" radius dies. We use them to bend sinks.
