An appeal.

Gents, I need access to a GOOD body & fender man. I have a "near complete" 1969 "sandacast" CB750. I'm "watching" a "proper" tank, but it has "damage", IE; dents in both fork & knee areas. Yamia offers re-pop tanks for @ $700.00. this tank is at $250.00 before bids. and will probly "go" for 5... I have time, and would prefer a "OE" tank to a re-pro for my restore, but will undoubtably need the talents of a "pro". any leads would be appreciated, G

got a picture of the tank?

It's item #260777307921 on Ebay, I rough count 10 misc dents & dings, the one that concerns me most is the r/h front bash. If possible I'd like some one who can "pull" from the "outside" & Fill" with "lead" ( A nearly lost art ) I've had my share of problems with "bondo"/"fillers" making themselves apparent sometimes 15-20 years on. I've had this bike @ 26 years now, & it's been a "runner" pretty much all this time. I guess it's in the "running" for "longest project bike ever" I just never had the desire to spend the $'s neccessary to make it "correct". Thanks for listening, Even moreso if you can steer me in the right direction... G

Gane, it looks like that tank can be saved by the right person. I can't recommend a body man, but I just thought I would add a suggestion. You might try asking around on some hot rod forums. I bet that if there were anyone around with lead experience, that they would still be known by the chop and channel crowd. Good luck with your project!

my dad taught me to use lead when i was young,not really as hard as people think.
the painting is the part i dont like doing

Testarossa & wireman. Thanks, My Dad also "worked" in Lead. & when in my "teens" did his best to "teach" me "the art " of "torch/paddle/flow/bond & body file.", the fact is, I'm inept.and this project deserves better. thanks G

eastwood has some helpfull stuff for leadworking
