72 duster resto
Pulled off my gas tank while waiting for engine parts and tools to arrive.
Inspected the tank and it was perfect inside. So, fired up a return order for my new tank and bought a new sending unit. The sock had come off the one in my tank which is probably why the gauge was reading wrong all the time. Can use that cash on the other random odds and ends.
While inwas under there I took a sander to some of the surface rust areas and then shot a coat of rust encapsulator.
Gonna have to cut the base of the spare tire sump out as its got rusted cracks through, but already knew that was an issue and have the metal replacement for it.
Crank bearings get here today so I can continue on the motor tonight.
