[Tigers] One Hard-Knock Tip and One Request

I'd be leery of any place that didn't think that the existing 2" holes 
for the rear crossover, and the filler hole on the right tank, and the 
fuel sender hole on the left, were enough to get the coating in.

I had my tanks and crossover tubes cleaned and re-coated at a local rad 
shop. I don't know the brand name but the coating is translucent red.

You're definitely right on the drains... if you get the car undercoated 
(or if that has been done at any time) then it's worth while to go and 
ream the drains out with a suitable sized pick or awl. Somehow water 
will get in through the tiniest crevices, but won't drain unless the 
hole is about 1/8" diameter or larger.
