    Nice job. 😎 While EvapoRust is expensive , it’s a great product. I used four gallons of it and five pounds of nuts and washers to completely de-rust a 60 gallon steel air compressor tank manufactured in 1985 on one of my two vertical compressors I have in my shop. After building a wooden rotisserie to rotate the tank, I was able to completely clean the inside of that compressor tank. It runs great now. Also moisture will always be present inside the gas tank so sealing it with a tank sealer like POR15 is a great way to go as well.
    That Plymouth is a great survivor car and its ride makes it a fabulous long distance cruising machine. The 318 V8 with that Carter two barrel BBD set up is rock solid in functionality so keep it up, a car like that -in that condition - is a gem to have.

      Thanks for watching!
      I never thought about a rotisserie apparatus, but that sir sounds like a fantastic piece of equipment to have around a shop or garage. I did think about the interior sealant for the tank and was given some recommendations for aircraft grade sealant. Funny you say about the carter carburetor as I am currently filming the footage of rebuilding the original unit that came with the car so it can go back on. Waiting on a couple pieces in the mail and it should be done, so stay tuned for that video in the near future.

      I'm glad we can cross off the fuel system from the list as it was the largest glaring inconsistency with the vehicle. Onto the next piece!

    The 1969-1972 Fuselage styling of the Plymouth line up was so much better than Ford and Chevrolet. That was great you found an original factory fuel tank. The previous tank was some real band aid engineering for sure. That's cool you went back to the stock fuel system. I'm currently repairing a 1984 Omni 2.2 liter with the automatic transmission. I had to replace the mechanical fuel pump as it was broken. My next job is to remove the factory sending unit as I believe its clogged up with rust and debris. I bought a new sending unit from Rock Auto. You did a really good job cleaning the tank inside and out. Well done!!

      Much appreciated for watching!
      Agreed, as I greatly enjoy the very imposing and formal elegance of the fuselage style. Given that not many show up too often, hence why I jumped at this opportunity to own a wagon. Sounds like a step in the right direction for your Omni. I believe my dad had a GLH back in the day.
      Best of luck to you in your project!

      Thank you for viewing the video!
      The entire effort was aided by some awesome people and the C-body Mopar community online. Wouldn't have been possible without the much needed guidance. I'm just glad the project is finally finished!
