Considering everything he did to displace the O2, fillling the tank with CO2, arc welding with an inert gas and the air to fuel ratio staying out of range to support combustion, I still wouldn't do it. My hat off to him.

The outside is getting painted to take care of that problem. It doesn't
look like all of the galvanizing was taken off by the stripping process
but it did have some rust beforehand. I wasn't planning on going this
far with Kermit's tank right now but since when has working on an abused
old car ever gone according to plans?

Tim,
The hold down hardware is the same for all positions. The deep hole has
an oil passage that goes around a head bolt and meets up with an oil
passage in the block. If you still have the factory bolts, I would use
them. If they are in bad shape, you'll need to find exact matches so you
don't cause oiling problems.

Funny thing about that type stuff. It works,until it doesn't. When it doesn't. No big deal as the welder is usually no longer around to worry about it.
Had a local shop, guy pulling a gas tank. He needed some light so he hung a drop light and kept working. Got tank loose. In a remarkably coordinated effort he managed to dump fuel from the tank and knock the drop light into the puddle at the same time!
Picture, guy with gas dripping down his arms. Light bulb, poof, flames everywhere.
The guy spent months in a burn unit. The shop burned to the ground with a handful of customers and new cars inside.
Those of us working in area shops learned to pull gas tanks in the dark.
No one remembers all the times shit like this goes right. Screw up one time and burn the shop down and they never let you forget it!

Subject: Re: [AMC-list] we're all a bunch of wimps
Interesting, I grew up on a farm in southern minn, learned to drive @ 12,
Grandfather had a tuddybegger with the bullet front and back, my brother
bought a superhawk, cousin a Hudson Clipper, all farmers.
The clip does not surprise me. On the farm, if you broke it, you fix it,
learned to weld at 12 when I broke the plow They stood by me and made me fix
it,,Redneck, well hell they motivated me to a PHD, and I still go back and
learning country ways ,,each time I go home. Damn proud of their minds.
This brings up an interesting question of the philosophy of the list. The
country is now being tested and challanged on the original form of
government.
Many state to me why AMC, they view it as a failure, I view AMC as a future
that was not acccepted due to social pressures of acceptance, yes I was one
, had the duster 340, 454 stingray, 63 Ford 401, much more.
The question asked, why,,I am a redneck,,,well educated,,but I am devoted to
the preservation of the american dream of freedom, Amc and others worked
toward it, some, motivations were not all based on the ethics, but money.
I must say, that I am so concerned of the loss of rights, I will take my
AMC'S and proudly display them as hard working Redneck Ethics, out ofWI,
built with pride.
By the way, I am still a crappy welder, rather sit on my bag of seeds and
direct.
I close with sincere passion of what WI did for America
Do not judge me, My statement is showing what redneck's built, that gas tank
was a normal farm boy activity

I pulled the gas tank on my son's S-10 truck a few years ago to change the in-tank fuel pump. The truck was on my concrete driveway. The tank was brim full. I couldn't really tell how full it was before I pulled it because the tank sender was part of the corroded fuel pump assembly and everything was tits up back there. The tank dropped onto the concrete driveway and I found myself lying in a big pool of stale gas. No sparks. Thank the Lord. I was working by myself behind my privacy fence too. No one could have gotten to me easily even if they had heard my screams. I'm now a wimp and proud of it.
