Sooo small little update; I am No Master Metal Worker or fabricator but I try to learn a little bit of everything when or where I can .... started using an old piece of solid copper roofing I pulled off an old house that was being re roofed & remodeled. I made a wood form of the Columbia's tank opening & started forming this around it by hand + rubber mallet. It fits under the top tube & double straight bars that are the integrated rear rack Nicely

It's by No Means Finished as I have to decide how I want to form it at the head tube, of course sand/clean polish, & figure out for sure what I wanna finalize it as with so many ideas possible but I am making a Copper Horn Tank for the '64
....
I am Not Sure I won't end up making this a horn tank & tool box but figured this might be some kinda inspiration or idea for all you tankless guys; at least as a place holder ....
