I was just muttering "don't forget to get it pressure tested" when you did exactly that. Brilliant job to get only the one leak (and that being the fuel tap and not the tank). Usually there is more than one so kudos to the attention to the welding
Looks great. Always loved the look of a coffin tank. 2 things that others have commented on. 1 needs a breather or a breathable cap 2 can’t get fuel out of the second side. Either a) a second tap or b) a transfer pipe to the one tap that gives you a reserve. Always look forward to your posts. Thanks.
It’s all about what a plasma can make or what you can create with a plasma cutter? I recon it looks awesome..... throw in a bit of Matt magic and vwalla!!! Awesome content. Awesome plasma creation
Great!!! (I know how to do...) 👍🤎 Logically: - Strip the rod and sheet metal with a scraper - Clean the sheet metal and the strip with ethyl acetate - Solder on the outside with the argon atmosphere on the inside
I´ve seen some fellows doing the root pass just laying down the rod in the gap and using the torch on top to melt it. They seem to obtain good results with that. If anyone has tried it, should be great to know. Great video dude! you´re real pros.
Looks great matt, one question, how would you get fuel out of both sides, as I see it one side won't drain out of the tank... needs a hose between the two under the frame.....
That was my question too, either you run a hose or tube from one side to the other, or you put outlets on both sides and put a tee in to the carb/carbs.
This is awesome. Wish I could get one that fits for a Micargi Royal Dutch beach cruiser. Instead of it being used as a gas tank have it as a storage compartment. If that was made I would definitely buy one.
Design, weld, puppets and sound effects, If I could do 1 out of 4 I'd be happy. Great job, around here we silence the critics and use a backhoe to clean up the mess. Old School.
Again great design and execution, certainly more proportionate than the template tank, still going to need a means to get the fuel from the non tap side but I’m sure you’ll have a solution. Fits like a glove!!!! Take Care Stay Safe Everyone DRW
Yes, yes, and yes! Looks really great. I was thinking about whether you should polish that tank, but I kind of like the matte ( or is that Matt) finish on the tank. You are going to need a cross feed from one side of the tank to the other to get enough petrol capacity. You are one s-t hot welder! Nice work! Wish I could weld like that! One of your commenters suggested a square headlight. I think that might be kind of cool, if you put it in a headlight housing that was a tiny wee version of the coffin tank.
that tank ,in my eyes,is a work of art and i doff my cap to you once again,,,although,,,,,even though shes just gonna be a show pony i think the tank needed to be deeper and needs a tap in both sides to connect the bottom halves. shes not yet a finished project so plenty of time to go around those little snagging jobs. youre doing a fantastic job Matt,, keep it up.
Very nice work Matt love the fact there is no annoying loud music as you worked . Looks a lot better as you say it's a bit bigger than the cardboard test piece .puzzled about the fact you only have 1 tap, newbie query will it only ever fuel from the one side .enjoyable video as always thanks
not the ideal solution on a warm day petrol will expand and come out the hole and run down the tank if you fill it up, petrol soaked balls is no fun, better to have a one way valve in a vent tube
Looks very cool, suits the bike perfectly. I also wondered about how to drain both sides of the tank. I'm sure you have some sort of steam punk idea. Cheers
Don't even bother trying to please everyone, do what you want to matey, good job!
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!MORE LIKE BLOODY FANTASTIC 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful tank. Don't forget a vent and a tap on the other side for gas. Looks really good.👍
Cracking job Matt - fits the overall style and manufacture of the bike a treat!
I was just muttering "don't forget to get it pressure tested" when you did exactly that. Brilliant job to get only the one leak (and that being the fuel tap and not the tank). Usually there is more than one so kudos to the attention to the welding
Awesome job and clean design, one of the best and complete functional gas tank I ever see made-up.
Looks great. Always loved the look of a coffin tank.

2 can’t get fuel out of the second side. Either a) a second tap or b) a transfer pipe to the one tap that gives you a reserve.
Always look forward to your posts. Thanks.
That tank on that bike will stand out
This geezers the real life MacGuyver!!!
you are a real builder man
Awesome as usual. Like the proportions. No leaks first time, shows your level of precision & skill
Yup that works, looks good and no leaks
Hey man Kevin here from Australia.
Cool tank you've followed the theme of the bike into the tank beautifully. 10/10 from me.
🌻 peace. ✌

You are great to watch. So methodical. I was hoping you didn't grind the welds. But it looks the dog's mate.
Love the tank design as well as the execution!
Looks amazing! Perfect fit for that bike.
Amazing work. Looks beautiful. I love fabrication
FAntastic work on the tank, great to see the end product & the Mongrel running.
excellent job Matt, very skillfully made and looks really good on the bike
I like it, it really ties the whole bike together!
I love this just because of the simplicity of it
Great!!! (I know how to do...) 👍🤎

- Strip the rod and sheet metal with a scraper

This guy is a genius
Good job mate. Intrigued to see how you setup the fuel lines from it
I´ve seen some fellows doing the root pass just laying down the rod in the gap and using the torch on top to melt it. They seem to obtain good results with that. If anyone has tried it, should be great to know.
Great video dude! you´re real pros.
Looks great matt, one question, how would you get fuel out of both sides, as I see it one side won't drain out of the tank... needs a hose between the two under the frame.....
Copper pipe with brass fittings would look smart
This is what I was thinking too lol!! Great looking tank!
i dont think matt thought of that at all.
That was my question too, either you run a hose or tube from one side to the other, or you put outlets on both sides and put a tee in to the carb/carbs.
I had wondered that too.
Great work as always Matt.
A very nice bit of fabrication
What an awesome tank Matt you do great work
Fits entre bike really well!
AMAZING WORK - Well Done
Almost there! Breather and a balancer still to add. Also would love to see how you operate those mounting threads.
Excellent work on the tank
Smart! Looks great Urchman!
This is awesome. Wish I could get one that fits for a Micargi Royal Dutch beach cruiser. Instead of it being used as a gas tank have it as a storage compartment. If that was made I would definitely buy one.
That looks like a lot of work well done

That's a fantastic job!
Tank came out real nice 👍👍😎👍👍

Work of art that Matt.
Amazing job, i'v just picked up a 77 CB750 f1 hardtail with forward controls and a solo seat, very bumpy ride!
Nice job looks great
Looks awesome.
Brilliant job matt ,,looks great
Looks fantastic!
Yep, good choice 👍🏻
It’s got that old school chopper look
Looks fantastic Matt.
Love the hair flick!
Nice piece of work Matt!
Lovely work
Great looking tank! Wish I could weld like that!
Came cool! Nice job!
Well done looks great, you are a very talented man
insane workamamship. great video. thanks.
Wicked looking tank cracking job done. That plasma table is the way. Love how you showed the tank build
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁🤞✌️
This is incredible to watch, nice skills man!!

Awesome work as always, and very funny with the slow doll entry
Very neat that tank....well done that is something you should expand on.
Love it, I like the whole stance of the thing, looks mean.
Love it, Your work is great.
I love it beautiful welding work my friend
Nice work I'm skilled Tig welder I love the work I understand how much goes into it
There's the man who gives his refined ancestors a good rest in peace before cremation in the engine
Well done. Hated to see the raw welds go. They looked good. You're a good welder.
Very nice work Matt love the fact there is no annoying loud music as you worked . Looks a lot better as you say it's a bit bigger than the cardboard test piece .puzzled about the fact you only have 1 tap, newbie query will it only ever fuel from the one side .enjoyable video as always thanks
bad ass bike great work
Looks good
Very nice work.
Absolutely awesome fella.
Very nice job very impressive
So the right side of the tank is your reserve tank. When you run out, tip the bike so it sloshes left and continue your journey.
Hi Matt, Looks good as it is. Thumbs up.
The tank fits the design of the bike! It looks great. What ideas on headlight and tail light?
looks good
Nice tank👌
That is so freaking cool man
This is good stuff!
Great tank and great vid as allways 👌👍😎
lovely work mate... keep it up xxx
I don't like coffin tanks but I must admit it really suits the bike. Well played 👍
Outstanding sir.
Nice video. Love the tank. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Looks good! Dont forget to put a tiny hole in the cap to prevent the tank creating a vacuum and not delivering any fuel to the engine.
not the ideal solution on a warm day petrol will expand and come out the hole and run down the tank if you fill it up, petrol soaked balls is no fun, better to have a one way valve in a vent tube
Awesome!
RESPECT!
because the tunnel is so high you may need to have a double fuel tap to let petrol flow from both sides
The tank style isn’t my thing really but it’s beautifully made/your welds are super clean
You are an unbelievably talented Man Matty. Great job Mate. Billy J..... OZ Land.
It looks good 👍👍🇨🇱
Great job and Billy the puppet seems to like it too :)
Here as well Lord Hepcat. A pleasure to see your lordship
That started out looking like an aloominum kite👍
Looks great but I liked the welds
Looks very cool, suits the bike perfectly. I also wondered about how to drain both sides of the tank. I'm sure you have some sort of steam punk idea. Cheers
