Thanks for the kind words, Kurt. California is a huge state and I think it's great that there are now events within a reasonable drive of everyone. Glad to hear your Petaluma event went well and I'm sorry that I couldn't make it this year. I'm looking forward to your return to the delta...

It is cool, I'll say that much!

Cool! That's an unusual vehicle you are restoring.

You could try removing the tank and swishing around swimming pool acid in it. Wear goggles and gloves. The disadvantage to this method is you could get pinholes if the rust is really severe. You will have acid-rust mix that you'll need to discard. I've also heard of people chaining the tank...

That would be cool. Ocotillo Wells perhaps? I know some San Diego folks who would be interested.

It was in the low 50's at night. We also had a lot of wildlife: ravens, blue jays, deer, woodpeckers and a close and loud bunch of coyotes at 5:00 AM. I also saw a rattlesnake in the road on my way out.
