- 1971 Mach 1, Grabber Blue w/Argent stripes. Original 2V 351C Auto, Tilt, rear defog, Black Comfortweave Interior. Under restoration. Original colors, 4V 351C, 4-Speed, Spoilers, Magnums, Ram Air. All Ford parts.
I have seen a lot of your restored cars out there and seen beautiful shiny steel fuel tanks on everything with refinished tank straps.
I have my original tank with a few dents but in otherwise good shape. What I notice is it has sound deadener/undercoat spray on the bottom and sides. Why do people not spray the undercoat back on the tank when restoring? I am sure mine was a factory job based on how it is coated on the sides and above the weld seam.
I just plan to "freshen-up" the undercoating so it is a clean black. What are your thoughts on this.
