I finished and put the tank on the Ambo last night. Due to some bad sanding
by a PO the area of chrome had to be reduced by about 1/2" all the way
around. SO I have smaller chrome areas. This will reduce a wee bit further
whan I add the black pinstripe. Still I like the chromed area. Just another
rectum opinion.

I would also say that unless you want to pay a real professional to restore it to its original glory I say leave it with the well worn patina. That said, there is nothing wrong with a little custom (right Dave?). I always thought that red with silver panels (instead of chrome), pinstripes and emblems would look great. Or Italian green with cream panels and pinstripes. I have seen yellow with black panels and pinstripes that looked kind of tasty. But opinions are just like assholes they say, Everyone has one.
