hi,
our new '57 Golden Hawk project car came with a very good looking gas tank (still very black with undercoating) but a small hole on the bottom. Looks for all the world like a vindictive wife went out in the middle of the night with a nail and hammer!
The tank looks a LOT better than the couple I saw at our local Stude swapmeet last weekend; I'm thinking I'd be better off to take this tank off and have a radiator shop (or ?) repair it, and clean it out and then slosh some Bill Hirsch gas-tank sealer around inside before re-installing on the car... Wondering what the best procedure would be to close this hole; do they weld a little plug on it, or what? (again, off the car and flushed out of course!) For now, I am simply going to put a small screw in it with some Permatex on it, so we can at least start the engine and see how she sounds after getting some minor repairs done.....
