      Tubs, how’d you get those core plugs out without buggering them up?
      That should be a cute little motor when you’re done.

        some serious dents,,, but on steel you could go with traditional lead rather than bondo.  Will be painted anyway.

        PS, really enjoy your great and informative tutorials



        One of my Hot Rod buddies is experienced in using led.
        He has the paddles and files but that’s an awful lot of trouble
        for something that small. I’ve still have some kitty hair I
        could start with but I think I’ll just scratch the tank up really
        good and go with filler.
        Appreciate your comment on my videos.
        They are the result of a poor memory. Frustrated with not being
        able to remember how I had done something in the past got me to
        saving pictures of most everything I work on, along with some notes.
        Reading questions about things I had some experience with, I’m
        thinking my notes, and epically the pictures, could be helpful to
        others. I know You Tube has really been a help to me in repairing
        stuff besides outboards. It saves so much time not having figure out
        how to get something apart without breaking it. I hope there are
        people finding what I post as useful as what I have found on You Tube.

          Good idea with the “glue and slide hammer”.
          I presume the epoxy comes off nicely with a little
          heat from your torch?

            Torch would do it – I used a heat gun.

              I’ve been putting this off for months.
              One more shot of primer and I’m
              going to paint it.

                Tubs – great piece of work.  Reminds me of the work I had to do on my ’37 Champion gas tank.

                  I think I enjoy going to the dentist more that doing Bondo work!

                    Thanks once again Tubs, for a marvelous series of photos  and explanations, of how to restore  that Pal………..I’m sure it will be a big help to members and others!

                      There our people that enjoy working with this
                      stuff but I’m not one of them. I don’t know how
                      much help my pictures would be to a beginner.
                      They were more for those like Buck and Bob
                      who would understand what the mean without
                      a description. There are so many variables in
                      prepping metal for paint. Clean first with a solvent
                      or soap and water – filler before primer or after –
                      etching primer or epoxy – and on and on.
                      You’ll likely never meet 2 individuals that
                      follow the same procedure from start to ready
                      for paint. This is just a somewhat condensed
                      display of how I got there — this time.
