I really like this side view of this gas tank it really shows the depth of the carving and you can tell it is ready for a base coat.

I for got to tell you that this gas tank had flames coming from the vampire skull but when we carved a bullet hole in the forehead the owner wanted us to carve the 3D flames into blood; it was HELL because we baked the tank at 125 degrees for 24 hours and the epoxy was as hard as a rock, so I send some ten metal files to a tool and die maker and he ground them on different angles so we could carve it into blood but he did pay for the change. This picture has not been cleared.

Amazing. So I know the deal about if you gotta ask, you can't afford it...

What does something like this skull tank cost? Roughly, as I know there are lots of variables.

Very nice work. Welcome from Kansas City Missouri. So what are price ranges on the tanks? Do you have a wedsite?
