Design to Reality: Building a Custom Fuel Tank From Scratch

Design to Reality: Building a Custom Fuel Tank From Scratch In this video, we continue the step-by-step walkthrough and turn our cardboard fuel tank design into a real, fully fabricated metal fuel tank. Starting with the mock-up from Part 1, we take the design through CAD modelling, laser cutting, and TIG welding, showing how a concept becomes a precision-built component. This episode focuses on the practical build process, explaining the decisions, techniques, and sequencing used in professional automotive fabrication. If you want to learn how to build your own custom fuel tank from scratch, this video breaks the process down clearly — from digital design to finished welded assembly. In this episode, we cover: • Converting a cardboard mock-up into CAD • Preparing parts for laser cutting • Material selection and fabrication planning • TIG welding techniques for fuel tanks • Turning a design into a real, usable component This is a complete fabrication walkthrough, aimed at restorers, fabricators, and serious enthusiasts who want to understand how custom fuel tanks are actually made — not just the finished result. 📌 If you haven’t watched Part 1, start there to see the full design process before fabrication. ________________________________________
