Who is your fuel tank from? 

It came off another 76 in Canada. I restored it a year or so ago.

Those are the thickest fuel tank straps I've ever seen.  Assuming they are aluminum, is there any concern over galvanic corrosion or are they completely isolated via rubber?

I like the Silvermine sticker placement too.

They are stainless steel from Skillard. There is an isolator between the tank and strap. I used heavy duty vinyl? floor edging material. It’s back in my thread about two years...

Some adhesive gasket packing to seal the joints for hi build and paint.

Masked and ready to spray! Hi build will go on tomorrow.

Thought this day would never arrive! 

Can I get a virtual high five from the forum please? High build (Valspar DTM prime and seal mixed 4:1:1) ready to sand in a couple hours and fill any last minute pinholes with putty. Then on to a mix of 4:1:2 for a seal coat before paint!

Looking good!

Did a test on the sanding after an hour and a half and it was still “mudding up” a bit with the 400 grit. I’m gonna leave it till tomorrow to sand.

Everything slows down if it's cool. If it's below 60dF it will almost stop
