Front tank back from the radiator guy.

It’s tough finding a radiator shop nowadays. I guess the chemicals they use in flushing them out are super highly regulated and expensive to use and maintain. I only found one guy in my area so I took my tank to him to be flushed out pressure tested and have any leaks soldered. Got it back today with a clean bill of health. He had to solder 3 spots including around the filler opening. They didn’t do a great job cleaning up the repairs but I can handle that myself. I was told by my dad before he passed that the tank was fully stripped when he had it repainted back in the 60’s but as you can see from the pics it was not. You can clearly see the original red under the blue. I’m guessing it was only stripping where it needed repairs. As I remove the paint from the side of the tank I’m hoping to see if it was all red or if it had the cream sides.

Also it was pointed out that the front fender was not ligned up between the front spring arms as seen in one of my previous pics. It’s funny how perspective can play tricks in photos. The fender is centered perfectly between them. I’ll post another pic with a better view.
