Evan Wilcox
I've noticed Evan Wilcox's name come up a lot when the idea of custom alloy tanks gets bandied around. This is a great little video Hattar just did spotlighting his work (yea great, now it'll take 4 years to get a tank from him  )

Great video, thanks for posting! Not only does it take some serious skills and patience to do that kind of work, but one must be driven by the passion.

Nice...
I've got a few years until retirement, but that looks to be a nice retirement gift I could buy myself - maybe I should order one a few years out to insure it will be finished on time!

Nice vid. Very refreshing to still see a craftsman making art.

Piece of art that's about art. And it has bikes in it. Totally awesome.
PS: I think I made a mistake in life at some point... it would be so great to have a barn, some goats, and some acetylene tanks. I don't think Evan Wilcox is married, is he?

Evan has built two fuel tanks, two oil tanks, and a seat cowl for me...

Yeah, I knew that when I was doing it...
There are a couple of bikes I should have kept.
