[Roadsters] Gas tank repair?

[ncoonen at fastbears.com]

My thanks to everyone for their suggestions and thanks especially to Mitch who has a usable tank that I will buy, clean, seal, and install. I will hang on to the baffling tank for some reason. I'm sure it will annoy my heirs when they have to clean out my garage a l-o-n-g time from now.

...ned.
