    Tank Repair: Who's the "go to" guy?

    The tank on the SV is pretty severely banged up. No luck on ebay, CL, etc... Trying to debate if it would be cheaper to buy new or have someone fix it. It's beyond my bodywork skills. Any sources in southern NH?

    Thanks,
    Fitz

    Sheppo did a pretty good job on mine.

    I didn't get a chance to see it before paint, but Arcy said he only had to do a little touch-up cuz he's anal about that stuff

    I will entertain looking at both of these. Send pictures if you want. The way I fixed Pete's was 'race quality' ( I didn't go wild getting the lines perfect, 10 feet at a 100mph it looked pissah ) He was happy with it. It was also near paint ready. We can talk about how far you want me to go, up to and including paint if you want.
