    '71 Targa Oil Tank/Refurb or new?

    Is there a service for refinishing an oil tank anyone can refer me to, or should I buy CarPoint's on Ebay?

    I am currently getting my oil tank "hot tanked" and then ultrasonically cleaned, should be good as new after that.
    Shouldnt be too hard to find someone offering this service close to you?
    I looked at the eBay link that you posted and there is no indication that this new one is copper plated as per original spec (if that matters to you)

    Found a local shop to blast and power coat the oil tank, I will post a picture when I get it back. Making some progress on the 2.2 engine for my '71 Targa.

    Ok forget the sand blasting with the chance of just one grain getting inside the tank. So probably just hand sand some of the bad spots facing the quarter panel and touch up and be done with it. Also considering Pacific Oil Cooler's refurb service. Probably my fault anyway my tech was concerned also. Thanks for the PM's on this!
