You did a great job, I'd be happy with how both tanks look now. Unless you want to restore both bikes to concourse level, don't let the odd imperfection bother you, riding them is what it's all about.
Don’t crank on it so hard. The heavy gauge steel won’t move as easily as the 22 gauge the PDR guys work on. The light hammering around the edges of the dent is to relieve the pressure on the steel built up from the dent. For old tanks you have to sand and fill anyway. Also put something between the rod and the filler neck.

Thanks for the kind words. I agree about not worrying about the dents, just trying to learn and do my best. Tanks for watching! 😂
Pretty cool

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate any input and thanks for watching.
awesome!
How about a little heat shrinking, butane torch and wet rag cold-water bucket could help?
I agree, I'm going to give that a whirl. Thanks!
