Was going to swap out the tank in the "refreshed" GTCS. But them when looking at it saw a date stamp... original tank in "good" shape.

A few hours of acetone, turpentine and wax and grease remover and its cleaning up OK.

Any recommendations on a final surface treatment to brighten up the zinc as its dulled out from the chemical hit and light scrubbing to remove 40+ year of road grim, tar, some black goo someone sprayed in the trunk, and other layers of "stuff"...
