Gas tank finish preservation.
« on: May 03, 2019, 11:19:58 AM »
  Getting ready to install a new fuel tank in this '66 convertible. Is there anything I can do to preserve the natural finish. Spray it with clear, or even just a coat of wax? The customer is mainly concerned with preventing corrosion. The car is going to see limited road use. Any ideas?

                       Thanks, Pete.
