Couldnt the boards be stripped to bare metal, the extra holes either MIG\TIG welded or brazed closed, and then coated?

51-54 Manual Master Cylinders were not mounted under the car as in 55/56, but forward of the firewall, on the frame rail right behind the steering box. So unless it was a filler port access for the 54 and prior Ultramatics, then there would be no reason for it.

No fog, but there was a bitter cold wind blowing in from the Ocean. I really like that area of the Central Coast where the Pine trees meet the ocean, and the mix of sandy beach and rocky cliffs. A large colony of Elephant Seals were ashore a coupe miles north of Cambria and were sunning themselves on the beach.
If I hit the lotto and could retire with money in the bank, then I would love to buy a small house up there in Cambria. Gorgeous rural part of Californian coastline that very few people ever see. One moment you're in rolling grass plains with grazing animals, then you're in Pine forests. On the Hearst lands there are wild herds of Zebra and Barbary Sheep, and other grazing animals that were set free from Hearst private zoo back in the 40s and have done very well on their own.

Don't know of any from the 30s but there were some Packard racers in the 20s

O_D & PV8, Thanks for your offer and efforts. Need to do some more checking as it's close, but not quite with cigar--although maybe with minimal work.

Thanks for the welcome & the info Mal. Not a member of the Club yet - but will be if I go ahead with this project as I hope. Still in the research stage at this point.

The centre of the filler tube sets 4-3/8 inches forward of the rear face of the tank.

John,
Yes, you should stop by, the car is in the back on a lift. I was thinking about stopping by tomorrow to check on progress. If you would like to join me, give me a call. Tom

I am assuming no longitudeinal taper because upper and lower halves of the tank are the same die stamp.
