Removed the ends of the fuel tank. At first I tried melting the solder out and uncrimping the edge. It wasn’t working too well and was making a mess of the edge. I ended up using the flap disk in the grinder and simply took the top of the fold off. This went very quick and I was able to remove the end panels. They will get formed back into shape. As suspected the internal baffles were popped from a few tank walls. I will remove them as well. This will give me the access I need to get the rest of the tank cleaned up. This will also let me work on getting the side walls of the tank back into shape. I also removed the senders and the pickup tubes.
