I've been working on this tank for some time. I have a friend who has a metal fabrication shop who fabricated the handles. I drew up the diagram of what I wanted and he did a premiere job. If anyone is a welder, you know how difficult it can be to weld steel that's about as thick as two pages of your news paper. I'm fairly confident that there is not another tank exactly like this one in existence. I took the idea from Jason Pridmore and expanded on it.
The amount of time that went into this project was surprising to say the least. I wouldn't suggest you drop your tank off at a metal fabrication shop, show them one of the following photos and say "Make my tank look like that one". You may get queasy when you are presented with the bill.
Having handles makes life so much easier on me as well as the passenger. Recessing the handles into the tank eliminates any chance of loosing the family jewels in case of a crash.
Following is a few photos of the process along with one action shot.
