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.

The higher price is for the complete gas tank resealing kit (does the inside) the little cans of the black paint will be fine for the outside. I've never used the metal ready stuff, but I hear its good.
