The time had come to sort out the only bit of bodywork on MadTrax, the fuel tank..
At some point I welded on an extension to the back of the tank so it filled a gap left below the seat..
Of course this all now needed to be tidied up, so que the body body filler!
Looking a bit rough here still..
Lots of fillering and sanding later I gave it a squirt of white primer as it's all I had that wasn't red oxide primer!
A careful rub down with 800 grade wet 'n' dry later the tank was then hit with 3 heavy red oxide coats...
Once the paint had fully hardened it was them flattened back with 1500 grade wet 'n' dry to get it ready for the top coats.
Carefully plonked on the frame along with the seat to have a look... Me likes
As it turned out the frame was the only "out of the way, nothing can get dropped on it" place I had to store the tank, so a sheet was put over to keep the dust at bay..
Yes I need to adjust the filler cap.
