Re: The "Hoopty Jr" Project
Well Hoopty sprang a leak in the gas tank last weekend. (of course right after I filled the tank. Luckily I caught it before too much had drained onto the asphalt. Couldn't get the siphon hose to go in, but turned out the tank was bad enough that when I poked at it, it made a big hole.
I finally got time yesterday to remove the old tank. I thought (wrong again) it would be easy with the way it is hooked up. Fought the lines awhile, but finally got them loose and she came out.
I ordered a new tank and some new pieces to put it in with. Today while killing time, I cleaned up and painted the tank strap brackets. My tank is supposed to be here Tuesday and the rest of the stuff hopefully by the weekend.
Oh and last night I got me a new shop vac for $20 at a silent auction.
