I fluted... :) No really, that's what I did tonight! The ribs are now nice and flat, instead of distorted as they come from Vans (caused by stretching of the metal as they are formed). I took a few before, during, and after pics...the first one shows the ribs before fluting, very uneven, and far from laying flat.
These two show the tank ribs done, and a stack of unfinished for a good comparison.
And finally, all the ribs are finished except W408-1L and W409-1R (in left side of the pic). I'll have to ask around to see the procedure for fluting these since they are not pre-punched.
They look so nice stacked all nice and neat!
