    My first job in 1976 was at an auto radiator shop. We used to boil gas tanks out in a propane heated big tank with caustic soda. Then wash it inside and out.Then the old guy would pressurize it and put it in a big water tank to find the leak,Solder it up ,throw a coat of paint on them and they were like new. I think they charged like 40 bucks. I bet those kinda places do not even exist anymore.

Later we would import the whole rear section of frame from the Carolinas. Gas tanks too. Anyway, hello from Cape Breton. Love the channel. Have a good one.

    Mustie, have you tried a Valvoline product called Tectyl? There are two kinds, one thin floating for inside of frames, in doors and a thick one to coat the outside. It's not very expensive and it's a good product. We use it here in southern Norway to prevent rust damage to our cars. Our climat is a lot like yours and our roads gets tons of salt during winter season. Thank you for letting us share wrenching with you. Stay safe and healthy!

    if my gen 0 is non rebuildable. I am definitely going to an LS. there is a reason people are doing LS swaps. and that you or others are tied of them. that isn't going to stop me from going to one. it would be far cheaper to go to a junk yard LS than doing a roller conversion, better heads to the flow capability of the poorest LS heads. . be far far cheaper going LS than updating my gen 0. that is part of the alure of going to a cost effective engine. for example, heads + retrofit roller package would be north of 4000 Cdn dollars here. Fuel injection hardwaye, another probably another 1000 dollars. that goes a long way towards going to a much better platform.

    Common problem with a 307 Olds engine (if semi high mileage) will be the rockers and saddles will be worn out on the center of each head where the exhaust runs up to the intake manifold on both sides- you'll want to replace at least the 2 center ones on each side, and possibly some rockers if they are scored up very badly........

I nice little cam dynamics back in the day that would fit under stock chevrolet heads . lots of duration ( memory wants to say about 230 @050 ). dead on the bottom, but when you got that thing spinning. she came alive. no doubt the 307 would respond with attitude to same kind of mods. but I don't think I'd do flat tappets anymore. had my fill of that stuff .

    That would look horrible. There are replacement kits all over the Internet - it's just a matter of removing the trim, cleaning things up and replacing it with the proper materials. Heck there are even templates out there if you want to cut your own material. If only KZread existed in the 80's I might have been able to repair the carb in my parents that I drove; I'm pretty sure there was something screwed up in the carb that made that car such a dog but I was not into cars at all when I was younger (d'oh!)

    @@DocNo27 I've seem it done on two vehicles and it turned out great. Newly applied Rhino Liner has a slight sheen to it and is slightly rough textured like a vinyl top. After a week or so apply a coat of Back-to-Black to maintain the sheen and protect the coating. It probably should be done a couple times a year for long term durability and sheen. And yes, the prep work would be the same as a replacement vinyl top kit, but installation of Rhino Liner or Xline is much easier. Also, I believe Rustoleum (?) makes a DIY bed liner kit and smaller quantity spray can liner spray as well.

    I had a 86 olds cutlass Supreme back in the day! I loved that car. It drove really nice ,it was a really nice ride! It had the 5.0 liter v8. It honestly didn't have a lot of power but it was smooth and definitely got out of its own way. Cars today just don't have the same ride as they did back then. Cars today I suppose are technically better built but these cars just felt better when you sat in them. Its hard to explain. But yeah I miss it!
