Thank you so much for another incredible video! Like others have written, very sorry for your experience with getting the tank sealed. Your work is very nice. Nice to see some of us still uses siphon feed spray guns, that one reminds me of my EGA (DeVilbiss). Off to watch more in this series ~ Chuck
Thanks Chuck yes it was a nightmare but the Lord got me through it. Hoping this video will help some like me who just needed to see the steps to have enough courage to go for it. You won’t regret it!
I had a 1951 MG TD tank repaired about 15 years ago. The bottom was rusted out, they cut it out, blasted all the interior of the tank welded in a new bottom and coated. It came back ready to paint and non of the threads were gunked up with the sealer and the sealer was nice and smooth on the inside of the tank.
Another good video, others have mentioned the disappointment with the finishing of the tank. I’ll pay attention when I need to to do this. You have mention on a reply of another person that can do these tanks, is he on a website? The Bluegrass was great to hear and appreciated, Ken in the Bluegrass state of KY.
Re: one side of the tank always binding when you tried to reinstall, I wonder if it would have helped to get a long 2x4 into the cabin and wedge it across the body. That might put a little outward pressure on the cowl right there and expand it by a fraction of an inch. Just brainstorming.
Yes maybe others will see this idea and follow suit. Great suggestion. I have a cargo bar that extends with squeezing the handle that would work good for that. Where were you when I needed you?! Lol! Great suggestion.
This is a very instructive video. However, It is hard to believe that a so-called professional would return the tank to you with major scratches and what appears to be a very poor interior coating.
I couldnt agree more with you. There was nobody else in our area that did that type of work. I was tempted to mail it to Eric Weningar of the Model A Medic. If I had the money I would have. He is who I recommend for this type of work. Thanks for the comment Oscar
Thank you for taking the time to document this process. Helped me understand what is involved and I am sure it will help many others.
Thanks Marty so much!

Yes sir I think my guy made it a point to create havoc. A disaster. Let’s just hope the inside is ok!

Great video as always. You should post a video of y’all playing that great music. I’ll be waiting for it.
Thanks Harvey! I may do just that! I have the fourth and fifth part of this gas tank series already filmed and will post them soon Lords willing

The red primer contains lead and is called "Red Lead Primer."

Silicone spray is the trick I've used
Around the instrument panel opening?
