Seems lately that I only work on "others" cars Marty.
Did a quickie fuel tank extension project for my brother in laws Camaro last weekend -- and made him a different fuel line...
I didn't have time to build him a whole new tank from scratch -- so he'll just have to wait til the new shed is set up this winter. In the meantime - he can cruise this summer without being so worried about where the next gas station is.
That POR 15 is tough stuff!!!!
Needed to open up the bottom anyway - so cut out the old fuel pick up tubes
Punched it with some new holes....
The tank was so warped there was not a single "square" or flat panel on it.... UGH --- What a lot of work to try to get the new extended area to at least appear to be flat and straight!
STUPID TANK!! Wouldn't stand on it's own..... SO a few clamps and some legs and now I could do a little TIG work.
I had nowhere for my hands to rest --- so had to bend up the torch and weld running the bead towards me.... OH MY -- this is easy for the girls that do welding day in and day out -- but for those of us that weld sporadically -- it's work!
26 sticks of fill later....... Thank god for TIG FINGERS!!! They really do help with the heat!
