Yo, Orrie, your build thread is very inspirational. I've gotten more than a few great ideas from it. Thanks for helping out with some of my dilemnas.
I've been trying to convince my wife to help me scrape paint (DOH!)

I was wondering if you put a clearcoat or anything on your aluminum gas tank. ?
I was getting ready to mount mine but thought it might start to get oxidization if not treated with something.

Also, I've been working on the rearend and noticed when I rotated the pinion downwards it began seeping gear oil. I am assuming this means the seal is bad? Or is there some kind of vent I don't know about? Thanks again.
