Dishing out my 450 tank

[Guest]

I'm planning on dishing the sides of my 82 450L tank. I was wondering if there was anywhere online I could print a template for the shape of the dishes or if most people just create theirs by hand. I want to dish the entire side areas pretty much, not just knee dishes on the back of the tank.

Any pics of the look you are aiming for?

Easy just cut out both sides in the size that u want dished areas and then swap them to the opposite sides and weld in place and have tank checked for leaks rather simple , just take time to plan , make template take measurements and cut . Will come out great !!

Thanks diablo, that's the route I think I'm gonna take. I found a video on youtube of a guy doing it by hand with a rubber mallet but at the end it's uneven and needs body filler. Cutting and welding seems to be easier and the result is more even as well.
