1965 Dodge Dart Charger
I removed the gas tank from the latest wagon I got from LA and the tank is the best one I have ever seen. I will use this one for my car.
I also got the go from the Mopar judges. Slantsixdan was right! He know's his stuff, for sure! He wrote this earlier;
Terne plating used to be a low-melt lead/zinc dip, back before seat belts were necessary, back before lead and cigarettes were bad for us. Now it's not necessarily tin/lead but might be tin/zinc. Article here gives the basics but can't necessarily be relied on for precise accuracy; there's no law against lead/zinc terne and it's very likely still in use. There's also Ni-terne, which is when the bare steel is nickel plated before the terne dip -- Ni-terne has long been common in fuel tank manufacture, and while I can't come close to swearing to it, it would be a fairly safe bet that OE tanks were Ni-terned.
The judges gave himright so now I know what to searcjh for.
Does anyone know of a good Company that can provide this Ni-Terne service?
The tank will be left to my friend Emil at Metal Madness and he will start with the 24h cleaning, taking away everything and after that he will smooth out the dents and dings. Then it will be ready for new finish.
