Repop Sheet metal vendor

This is gonna be a tuff one, but are there any vendors out there that make nice repop tanks and fenders for the 1929 model D's?

My research has left me disappointed.

Re-Pop Tanks

Hello - I just purchased a set of Re-pop soldered tanks from Thomas Fesser. They were for my 1931 VC Harley Davidson. He runs an ad in the Trash and Treasure ads of the AMCA. I ordered them and received them in 3 days. Excellent workmanship. We double checked him on pressure testing them and they were just as he said. I highly recommend him - David Lloyd AMCA Advertising Manager

His contact was Thomas Fesser 717-626-1618 or tlf@hammercreek.com

Hi David,

sorry to get off track with this thread

I am planing on purchasing the VL tanks also from Thomas just curious did you coat the inside with something and if you did what did you use to seal it with?

Repop Tanks

Good Evening Chuck - Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I didn't see the question.
I just finished sealing the tanks this weekend. They are ready to go to the painter
I use Red Kote sealer. I did my own research and found plenty of opinions on several brands. This is the second time I have used Red Kote and found it to be the best seal I have ever worked with. I think they all are good "If you prep the metal correctly", but I like the finished Red seal when it is cured. Sealing these new tanks was just preventive measures, so I don't have to worry about keeping the tanks full all the time - Call it Lazy!!!
Have a Great Day! - David
