Old Gas Tank vs. Newer One
Ok, I have two gas tanks to choose from for my '69 project. I am going to stip one of these and powdercoat it to match everything else that I am powdercoating. Which do you think I should use. The original one holds a full size spare, but only has one connection because it had carbs. The newer one is from a Carrera with two connections for the fuel lines and hold more fuel. Which do you think looks better for an early car?

I'd use the original one as I prefer the full-size spare, but that's just me and I don't track my car... Nice paint job!!

Well, I decided on the newer Carrera tank. It is much cleaner and looks to have no rust on it. I finished stripping it today and I will get it powdercoated this week with everything else.

Nice stripping job. What was your process for doing it. I'm stripping a tank also.
