I got my very first A-body last Friday, so I'm all excited to start tearing into the project and un-do all the stuff the guy before me did wrong. I'm loving the fact that this car is almost 100% rust-FREE, so I figured I'd attack the rusty spare tire well. Taking the rubber plugs out of the holes is my first move and being a B/E body guy, I just jab a screwdriver in betwwen the plug and the hole. The first one(rearmost) comes right out. The bigger, front one gives me a little trouble, so out comes the rubber mallet.
Yep, blew a hole right into the tank.
Duh.
Duh.
One more duh.
Drained the tank through the line up front and took it out. Hopefully, someone at work can weld the non-factory hole for me without blowing themselves up.
Nothing like ruining an original, no rust gas tank, not to mention a perfectly good Sunday morning!!! (Pea-sized hail came down an hour later!)
Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
