Replacement gas tank. Should I wire-wheel the rust or put primer over it?

No worries. I hate working in the cold also. 60's in clear LA night is enough for me. brrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

LOL, Sunday night and I think you've been in the Heinies all day, unless you are now selling NOS parts.
Here's what I think of your 'cold' 60* nights as I sit here at the comp and it's 14* outside right now.
Have a nice night and thanks for the B'day tip on IHOP, I guess I'll have to wait until next year for the free meal.

Well, I just checked the POR-15 website and found the cans that you were talking about. I wonder why when I checked last time and called them, I was quoted a price of about $68 for a fuel tank kit. I go to look for that kit again, couldn't find it. I did find the various size cans: http://www.por15.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1467/.f So, whatever can size I should get, I'll look into that, since it is much cheaper.
Should I also get the Metal-Ready?

POR is good stuff. No Doubt. For coating the INSIDE of the tank, be sure to check out Red-Kote. It's $30ish a quart and available at Carquest (and others).
I've talked to some car and bike shops that use it with great results.
I'll post my results after I use it myself. That is the route I'm taking.
