Ian thanks for the heads up! My parts car has mint fenders other than that same place so we can take out the portion above the rust spot and above the body seam and patch it in! I can't wait to get to the garage and check it out.
Took radiator, condenser, and gas tank in today. These people at Ferndale Radiator are AWESOME (shout out to Mel). He immediately knew that the tanks on my radiator were not original (though they work) ... so he's going to check to see if he's got the original Harrison tanks. He told me what to look for so I learned a lot today! He is also going to test, clean, and repaint the condenser. He told me the gas tank was too rusted inside to restore it.
He taught me something that I never heard or thought of that you may want to know. When people restore tanks using POR-15 or the equivalent ... they are great products and do a great job ... BUT ... Many times the sealing isn't 100%, not because of the product but because of the restorers lack of knowing what to do and when that happens sometimes rust can get BELOW the resurfaced walls of the tank and once that happens the tank is shot. He had nothing to gain by telling me that since I wanted him to restore the inside of the tank. He said "get a better condition tank." Can't fault a guy who walks away from easy money for himself to give me his honest and professional opinion.
So I'm back looking for a gas tank ... may have one located in Ohio though 
Any help on my ?? about the outside door trim? Do I need to take off the inside door panels?
