After it was cleaned up I started welding in a new piece of metal. This is the inner bin part, there will be another piece of metal on the outside for the mount.

All the crap I got out of the tank by electrolysis with baking soda water at 2 amps on the battery charger for a few days. This tank was clean compared to others I've seen!

First I cleaned the tank twice with the POR-15 cleaner/degreaser and now it's sitting with the metal prep in it.

I took this as a good sign! This is the bearing spacer that has a few grinding spots in it from previous owners - so the bearings were done a few times.

I picked my secondary color for the motor! It'll be that color gold for the front cover and rotor housings, with black irons. Kind of a pun on how much the rotor housings cost - their weight in gold almost.

Brake lines were both cut since they were completely rusted into the soft lines. Looks like I'll learn how to flare brake lines now!
