Golden Fin Society - http://clubs.hemmings.com/goldenfin/ Jack: Regarding the gas tank. Here is my experience and advice on it. When I started my restoration, I took my tank to the near by radiator shop and had it boiled out. I then got a tank kit from Eastwood which was an interior coating and exterior zinc paint. I did the restoration by the book and put my tank in the attic for three years waiting for installation on the car. When I got it down for installation on the car I found that the interior coating had seperated in big sheets from the tank. The tank continued to rust and the coating came loose. I then took it to Tank-Renu to clean up the mess and for about $300 they cleaned it and put a superior coating inside and out. The exterior coating was black, but it holds paint well. I therefore painted it with the Eastwood zinc paint and it looks great and will last for a long long time. So far, I would recommend the Tank-Renu process. Do not mess with the kits. Ed Dea was able to have the exterior of this tank silver power coated, but the shop I dealt with didn't understand what I wanted, so I went with the black rubberized coating and zinc paint.
