Ok, that's settled.

Why did you regret this?

I will look into this.  I hear Ken makes a LOT of things :)

I haven't seen this so I can't really picture doing this.  When my car comes
back from the 'glasser, the body will be lifted off so some of this stuff
may have to be redone anyway.

When I cleaned my tank it was like someone had done it just before I did.
It was perfectly clean.  When I got the gas out I could run a white rag
around the inside and it came out clean.

That's an urban legend :)

Thanks for the opinions everyone, including the off-list emails.  I think I
will be placing my first order with Houston this week, if I have time.  Who
knows, maybe in the next two weeks the engine will be finally running.
