What should I do with it? Save the ends and try to roll a new tank for them? Patch it up and hid a new tank, battery and toolbox inside? Make storage out of it? Throw it back in the pasture where I found it an let it return to being a mouse condo?

Those ends are too cool not to do something with them..

I would try to roll a new tank, even if you do a whole tank and tack those on the end so it looks like those are the real ends

Maybe I'm not adventurous, but mouse condo seems to be what I would do. However, the ends ARE cool, so if you feel up to the task, we want lots of how to pictures.

It would be way cool to be able to use the ends.

I think I would cut the ends off of it and chuck the rest. Then I would use the ends for wall hangers until I developed a better use for them.

Same here, keep those cool ends. Chunk the rest. You could spot weld the ends onto an existing tank at some point or build a grill around the panel. Who knows, keep around where you can see it and it will come to you.

make an air cleaner out of it

I would have a buddy who has a sheet metal roller do up a rough shape (or two pieces) bceause I dont have those tools and then re-build a tank out of it.
defenitly worth saving those ends IMOP

I would cut the signs out and weld one on each door of my rat then pinstripe around it to make it look like a shop truck sign. I think its a cool part and would not trash it, you my never see anuther like it. randy

Make a cool tank if you could reuse the ends and replace the center.

 

[FlatBroke]

Very cool find there.

i know where at least 6 of those tanks are......with complete farm tractors attatched to them, lol.

 

[Mr.Gussett]

I say cut the center of it out and send me the ends! LOL!
Hang on to the ends until you have a brainstorm and use them! Very cool!

I had a real nice one a few years ago, just had the Ford oval and I think it said Dearborn, but didn't say fordson.
Thanks for all the good suggestions. I think they would make some great patch panels too. I also have a Fordson toolbox that I may use as a consol in my rod.

I just found a pic of the one I had a few years ago. It was a little different than I remembered.

 

[BIGGLES!]

VERY VERY COOL...

I'm with everyone else keep the ends and a use will come to you - if you are a clever fabricator use them on a new tank if not the "use them on door and pinstripe round 'em" is also a great option.
