Well they were pretty nice until I started scraping the undercoat off and found the rust termites. I'm looking for a new tank and leaning toward the Moss steel one. Advise,warnings and suggestions please.

They are not the greatest, as they faded dramatically, but here they are any way...maybe you can copy them to your computer and blow them up to see some more detail. This car and engine is untouched in 1966. White wall tires were "standard" Hank
