Default Fuel tank progress

After my regulator issue, i finally got my tig welder up and running for the first time.

I am making a custom stainless fuel tank. My mate owns a fabrication shop and was nice enough to sell me the steel cheap, help me cut it out on his guillotine and fold it up on his sheet bender. He also gave me a 5 minute crash course in tig welding and gave me some pointers on how to weld it so it wont warp.

Today i got the outside all welded up and im really happy how it is turning out. When it is finished i will be polishing it up to a mirror finish.

I used 1.5mm 304 stainless. It will have an in tank pump.

I have done a lot of stick welding, but this is my first go at the tig.
