Gas tank redoing

[Griffin84ss]

Hello All, I dont do this often matter of fact I ant never done this before I am redoing my gas tank off my 84ss Monte with por15 and then starting on the bottom of the car wire wheeling and brushing is gonna be my life until I get finished.!!!! Here's my tank so far what y'all think??

Looks to be in decent shape.

Tank looks solid from what I can see. But do yourself a favor while its out and check the inside and flush it out if need be, and don't forget a new fuel strainer while you in there and use good quality new fuel line hose and new clamps when it goes back in.

Yes sir I was surprised to be honest with you since I have had the car 3yrs now and am finally getting my lazy bottom up and getting at it. Thanks for your time to check it out.

Didn't really think about that thanks for the advice I appreciate it and I'll do just that do you have any suggestions on a good strainer to go with?

nice,por is tough as nails,as long as you use it correctly.you gotta stick to their prepping/cleaning system for it to stick.if you read the instructions that comes with it you'll be fine.
as far as replacing the strainer goes any stock replacement one will do the trick.the one you've got now has quite a few years/miles on it so an new one's cheap insurance.

I agree with you on that ya I have all the prep stuff for it I would like to do the undercarriage without taken the body off I have more questions about but the tank is first and then I'll start on it and have some questions about it but that's a later date.

I did a frame off and under carriage of my kids Cutlass...we just brushed it and used the POR15.Unless its going to be a show car I wouldn't waste the time with the wheel.After all its Paint Over Rust 15.JMO.
