This is the pile of gravel that came down on me as I removed the tank.

That's funny. 

Great car you have there, as we have visited before, I would keep it as original as possible and drive it. 

I forgot it was a rocker molding car, that I think looks nice on dark colored cars..

That car looks really solid!
Good luck with the project, the Bug Shield is kinda growing on me. I remember those from back when they were a popular accessory, along with plastic seatcovers!

Amazing, clean tank with no rust or scale. just a few rocks that came down from around the tank when I removed it. The second owners told me story's of flying down the gravel roads 100+ mph back in the day.... "WOW"
Check out the dents on the front of the tank. Funny thing is that I bought a new tank to put in because I thought for sure it was trash. But since this one isn't rusty back in it goes.

If you have a new tank on hand and the old one is already out, install the new one.   It is a big time hassle saver.    There has to be some silt and crap inside the old tank even though it is not rusty.

Welcome back to the forum   Your car is in incredible condition for being all original.   I have to disagree with Fred (one of the few times ) I'd leave the bug shield on it.  As big of an eyesore that it is, it's a unique part of the history of the car.  Makes it cool in my book, along with the white wheels.  The shield is not something I'll add to mine though.  Looking forward to seeing more of this car in the future

How dare you! Go stand in the corner with your hands behind your back at once.

The bug shield sure did save the front of the hood, easy enough to snap on for shows at least.
The car came stock with the Mag type hubcaps which look o.k but 'yes' I like the white painted wheels a lot better. The picture shows 15 x 8 all around but I would probably do 15 x 7 up front and just the 8's in the rear. We will see, first I need to get the motor out and clean it up.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I will keep the pictures coming over the next few weeks. Happy 4th to everyone!!!

I am about the sickest person out there when it comes to survivors - and yours is very nice..........but do yourself a favor and remove the hood (mark the bolt locations with masking tape). Your odds of damaging stuff with the hood in the way are far greater than trying to save the paint on and around the 4 bolts. Always store a hood on its side - not on the "points". Besides - many, many survivors have had their hoods, doors and decklids adjusted by the dealership when they were still new.

   WOW Congrats man you have a gold piece there !!!

[surmanajaja]

Can I come out now?   I'll behave, maybe
