Gas Tank Restoration

Everybody says you should just replace an old gas tank. We were ready to do that until we removed the tank and found that the tar the last owner used to secure and seal the tank and trunk actually preserved the it very well. There was some slight surface rust, but Jon and Dad ground it all off, and then it was ready for primer. We save a couple hundred bucks by restoring the tank. Well worth the time and we got to use our new grinder. Gramp thanks again for all your help and advice.

Original Carlite Glass Be Careful Removing

Once again we called on Gramp's expertise. We have original Carlite glass on the whole car. The trim posed minor difficulties and after some work we finally got the hang of the windshield clips and all the glass came out fine. It is all wrapped up and waiting to go in the finished version.

Gas Tank Removal

Jon and Dad wanted to get the gas tank out of the Mustang, Gramp, who was here for a couple of weeks proclaimed that if we removed enough of the tar we could see if it was spot welded in. He guaranteed he could have it out in under 20 minutes. So Jon and Dad got to work and removed as much tar as we could. Gramp was ready to go and true to his word it was out in un der 20 minutes( I think he had inside info).
