Should be the same as a Ford LTD.
Any special considerations removing the fuel tank on this one?
It lived in Iowa and Minnesota (road salt) for most of its life, so you know that the rust down there is of epic proportions.
What is the best way to remove the heavily rusted tank strap nuts without screwing up the strap bolts and without killing myself in an amazing pyrotechnic display? Preferably without a tap and die set, because I don't have one, and also because there isn't enough clearance down there to use a die.
Can the strap bolts be replaced without welding?
If I have to take a wire brush mounted on a drill to the bolts, what is the surest way to shield the gas tank from stray sparks?
The gas tank has a leak somewhere on the top of the tank. If I fill the tank all the way up, gas starts leaking down from the top of the tank somewhere. Right now, there is probably around one gallon in the tank.
