Trey --
You should be able to drop the tank fairly easily... and then get the sender out - that's the "big hole" - remember - gas FUMES are the danger... even flicking on or off of a flashlight could be enough to light 'em off - so be "respectful" when working on these!
I knew a guy that was doing his fuel lines over - laying on the ground - and using a "work light" --- D U M B
Anyway - they sell a fuel tank repair in a can at Eastwoods --- and that stuff REALLY works... the instructions will walk you through the cleaning and "coating" the tank. I have a buddy that did his 57 Nomad about 15 years ago - and it's still good as new. Normally I'm not for this type of "repair" but in this case I think it's probably a good choice.
