Or if you have a radiator shop nearby they can boil it out and coat the inside .

I got a spectra tank from rockauto.com. When I was looking everyone recommended this tank. I always had good luck with Ground Up and I know several people who have there old tanks and never had any problems.

I went with the one from ground up. Doing the install Asap.
My car came back from body shop and I am very happy.
They installed new hood hinges, did the bodywork and painted and installed my rear valance.
Re painted the entire hood. It needed detail body work and some chips repaired.
The very lower part of the body along the entire sides was missed by original painter. He didn't bend over enough These guys painted it. The all aftermarket front end is a challenge to get lined up. Hood, fenders,fender extensions, bumper, grille! Dam. Its really looking good. Just a bit more tweaking when it warms up out.

Looks good. Always nice to get them back. Watch that hood hinge, most of the after market ones I have seen are junk. If the other hinge was original and not bent it can be rebuilt.

Best guy around for hood hinge and door hinge repair.

The hinges seem ok for now. I will keep my stock ones. I also have original fenders and bumpers hanging around. I was going to scrap em. Is there something I should do with them instead?

Got the stripe on and wheel opening moldings. Also I installed a couple relays that turn off the headlights when I turn off the ignition. Could never remember to do it.

Another big score was I went to a guys glass shop that has a couple old chevelles out back. I was able to look at his doors and find a home for all my left over hardware. Also the big find was the part I need for the fresh air flapper in the cowl.
