I have a TZ250 tank with a 2" dent. Who is doing repairs without using Bondo? Probably involves cutting out the bottom of the tank, repairing, then welding the bottom back in.
rob north of rob north fabrications. he is down below San Diego. dude is totally awesome. and, yes, same rob north that did all the BSA factory frames way back when. i've used him a number of times. vince
Vince, thanks, but I think he gets something like $400. Looking for maybe someone a bit more affordable.
atom bomb creations works with aluminum, i know he has done some endurance tanks for people http://atombombcustom.com/ i would call him to discuss, i know swenson is next door to him and can do the paint once its done
Why not try a paintless dent repair guy that works on cars? They could probably go through the gas cap area to work the dent out.
i'd call rob and talk to him. could be wrong, but that sounds like alot more than i recall paying (more like $250). ymmv. vince
Shoot me some pics in the AM, and I'll give you a good quote what it will take. The most realistic/economical option would probably be to fix it to 95% perfect with metal-work, and then just put a paper thin coat of metal glaze on it, prime it and paint in. Anyone talented enough to work that back to perfect metal, with the equipment and experience to do so, is going to have to get paid something fair. Shoot me some pics in the AM and I'll let you know what we can do. On stuff like that, I work with my great friend Clay (Atom Bomb Customs). He's the metal magician, and I do the finish work and paint. ([email protected]). If you need some references, you can check the metal-work on Eslick's Daytona 200 winning tanks, or a bunch of killer, hand-made tanks and parts done at AtomBomb. All made from scratch aluminum:
Resurrecting an old thread... My TZ125's tank needs a new front mounting flange fabbed up and welded on. D-swens: can you and your neighbor do that sort of repair?
