[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 132870, member: 3426"] Another member mentioned it’s kind of a shame that they, in some case are pretty close to being ok and it really wouldn’t take much more to make a really good tank. I have to agree with that. The welding, with the exception of what you see in the photos is ok. The underside in general is just fine. The fellow came across as a little indignant when I mentioned the extra piece at the rear. He said the photos in the ad clearly show that they all come that way. Guess I was just short shipped the appendage on the other side. He refunded me $35. I’ll spend that on stripper to remove whatever coating is on the inside. Has to come out before any welding is done. I’d be inclined to remove it anyway. Rust treat the inside and reline , but only if it looks like it has to have a liner. [/QUOTE]
