I oxy cut the tops off the rivets on the rusted cross member under the M5 this afternoon, the one right next to the fuel tank. Many, many wet rags were used, and a very enthusiactic helper with the hose, (when I'd say hose it after a cut I'd cop a soaking as well). So apart from a few minor burns from dropping hotties, no earth shattering Kaboom, as Marvin the Martian would say. (and before you ask - to remove the tank on an M5 you either have to remove the cab, or the gearbox, so it wasn't an option I entertained).
Hopefully this will end the Studebaker bad luck hoodoo that hit Matthew and Kmac350.
