It's Here It's Here
Old tank out. It sure looks easy when you're looking at the photos but........48 year old tank straps are a bi**h to get off without a lot of cuss words. Word of advice, Tanks Inc does not include the J bolts with the new straps. We had to cut off the straps so that we could work on the straps in the vise. And it goes like this........Wire wheel the threads, apply WD-40, run a die down the treads to the nut and then carefully work the nut back and fort until it his the clean threads and remove. Finally run the die down to the bottom and wire theel the J bolt and nut. Finally a coat of black paint.

The juicy stuff is coming soon, I have to get back out the garage. Lots more pics.
