little bit of progress. finally have the front wheels on so I can roll it around. The heater took over 8 hours to disassemble and restore. Wiper mechanism was also stuffed and had to make a good one out of about 4 separate ones I had collected. The fuel tank I have just started. I have 3 good ones but all with dents. I decided to split the worst one and fix it.
Never seen that done before, how do you "split" a gas tank? How do you put it back together without leaks?
I will add to the gas tank question, what method did you use to split the tank?
Beautiful work, love the detail to everything.

I cut it just in front of the factory seam with a 1mm blade on the grinder. Tig welded back together which once cleaned up still leave the factory seam looking untouched.

bit slow on the progress at present. My son is dealing with multiple health issues which has had me re evaluate a lot of priorities. Just trying to get a few mins here and there to keep sane.
No worries, family always come first. Our prayers are with you and your family.
