Re: heating aluminum.

I watched this show on the Discovery channel the other night about Jesse James, contemporary custom Harley builder. He takes rigid aluminum sheets and by simply waving a torch over one side is able to make them soft enough to form into pieces to make his gas tanks and fenders. Didn't say how they are rehardened afterwards, but the demo was pretty remarkable.
