    What could these pictures be? Why, it's no other than our well known member BLUGENE inspecting my PINTO gas tank, after we removed it this past Tuesday, and a shot of the car on his trailer (which made a wonderful "lift" under which to work). It was a beautiful 70+ degrees day, and we trailered the car down to his shop and pulled the tank, since it was leaking.

    You gotta give the guy credit - he was willing to "lower his standards" and help a fellow car nut in need. THANKS GENE....:thumbs2:

    How did you fix the gas tank? We used to soldier steel patches on with a big soldiering iron. It worked very well. Now we just replace them.
