Now that all the water has drained out of my car from Bergenrennen in WV, it's time to make her a bit more water tight.
A few years ago, Curt E. used his bore scope to inspect the damage and made this video. The front pan looked good, but we'll see.
Pulled the fuel tank. Here's some shots from my disassembly today.

And another little interesting rust area. I had to repair one of these in my '72 shell. I guess water gets past the fuel filler seal?

All ready to dive in in a few weeks when I get a bit more time.
The grey piece of sheet metal is courtesy of Damon Josz at Series 900. The guy has mad skills.

Bill- you can now buy the correct gas tank support from Restoration Design WITHOUT the bump! This will save you $$$ in fabrication time.

When I removed the gas tank, I thought the flange around the perimeter of the gas tank looked peculiar. Almost as if someone had welded the new suspension pan over the old one. Well...
And, after moving some strategically placed, smooth as glass silicone, I see this:
Guess I have to start all over again.

A bit of Swiss cheese in the lateral supports. I will be trying out my new Eastwood shrinker/stretcher soon.

Yeah, take your time on those welds. I don't want any suspension pieces falling off at 160+ (I don't really care what happens when others are driving it, it's mainly just my ass I'm concerned with .... )You can't believe how motivating Project BSF has been.
