Preservation of a 68 Camaro

Slid out to the garage today while the in-laws were visiting and knocked out a couple small tasks.


Photo 104 - 113 Defrost duct

Photo 114 - 119 Gas tank before. You can see a previous owner black spray painted the tank along with many other places. As I continue on this project I am going to attempt to remove all of the overspray and get it back to its current condition. I didn’t wanna evapo the top of the tank in fear or ruining tank coating plus I used Cosmoline Rust Veto spray on the rusted areas. I’m not concerned with it spreading any longer. Also not the 2 1/2” tank clamps with 4/67 date with the larger “80”


Photo 120 - 126 Gas tank after. All I used was M.E.K. And a 0000 steel wool as well as citrus degreaser and a brown Scotchbrite pad. Finished it off with Meguiars Hot Wheels metal polish. Then a layer of Rust Veto. Original sending unit reused. Seemed like it should work giving how clean it looked. I’ll test later on once I go back in with the tank.
