@LI-Rick If you do that, you'll gain that one gallon of fuel and you can pretty much shave that intrusion. I did clean my tank, but I just didn't want to go that far, this time. I'm not too hip on the VW tank. I would like to make a custom aluminum tank. I did make a few improvements. I dressed up the fuel sender and made new tank hold down brackets out of some scrap aluminum angle and set some riv nuts for them.
I do have some other ideas for this area. I feel this area is a let down for this car.
@DannyP I used epoxy. I've used it many times on various other things. The inside came out way smoother than the carpet side, but the carpet covered that up. It was a royal PITA working on my back with the epoxy.
I can't even drive my truck with my Georgia lineman boots on. If I ever fell in the river with those things on, someone would have to come get me.
@550 Phil I'll probably still run barefoot, but it would be nice to have a shoe on for the cold months. When I get in the car I step over the door and put my bare right foot on the seat then my left foot goes on the bottom of the dashboard hoop, where it meets the main frame tube, then I lower myself down. I'll open the door to exit though.
To be continued....
