Tank welding Tiggerific

*Disclaimer*

I have never welded aluminum before. I have not used a tig welder in years. This was my second time. I am a self proclaimed proud-to-be booger welder. This was a challenge.

Headin' there.

I love my fruit trees but I wish I had one of these trees like my mom and pops.

Gettin' down to business.
Time to turn a cap for that hole.

This lathe is so much easier to use....

Done.

Fillin' holes.

Ryan showing me how its done.

This was my best flat weld after a little practice.

Tank is done but not pretty.
I picked the worst thing to try to weld on my first attempt.....

Headin' home.

Mt first seat bump.

I knew this tank would come in handy some day...

.....it had screws and bondo to patch holes...

Deconstructed.

Tacked.

Moyou approved.

Filled.

Cleaned up a bit

Visualize.

Pony tank

Pony got some new tank emblems.

Seems appropriate for my life right now.

I have had this CT90 for a long time.... I like the idea of this bike but I NEVER ride it....so it is up for sale on craigslist. It has been completely gone through......the only thing wrong is the carb which needs to just be replaced I think. I can't figure it out! It will run great for 2 or so miles then I have to clean the carb...then it runs great again! If I can't get what I want out of it, I am going to either buy a stock carb for it or swap in a pitbike engine.
