Don't mind the crooked front bumper. Introduced to the frontstretch wall on the car's maiden voyage. Broken steering u-joint. Never did get it straight. Did sit parallel with the track when cornering, though.

Left the tank sit as shown. Excess sealer settled to what will be the outside of the tank, next to the wing. Darn moth! Had to scratch at his carcass and vacuum him out.

After the Step 1. Notice how quickly the tank flash rusted. Picture from post above was 18 hours prior to this pic.

Shiny wet sealer appears to have covered everywhere. The filler neck "bubble" at the top was the hardest to get the sealer to coat.

Post "Metal Prep". Looks pretty good. Light surface rust, which is acceptable.

Prep bottle, hammer and chisel to open/close the sending unit opening. That's the best/only way to see inside. Saw horses make the rocking job easier.

Is it a Gabriel, or Road Ryder? Inquiring minds want to know. Even if I don't care...

^ After 8 hours of soaking in M. Acid. Still has some surface rust and a little gunk around the plug, but good enough for the kit etching "stuff" to take care of.

Above is the pile of dirt/rock that was scooped out. It's about an inch or more high. That's a lot of debris. Took its toll on the lower fascia, as it is rusting from the inside out.
