Drill some starting holes in the empty and rinsed tank and then take a jigsaw/sawzall or tin snips and cut it out leaving a metal margin around the outside. Then you can take the cutout piece and finish the sharp edges on your bench grinder.

If you have other paperwork, cover it and leave it on the tank after taking good pictures.

The best way is to leave it on the tank and install another tank. Just a opinion....

There's a good chance the tank has pin holes on the bottom anyway. I hardly ever saw a Corvette tank that didn't have an inch or so of water in the bottom.
I had to replace the tank in my '68 and still have it (with the sticker attached) stored above my garage. The car is long gone but much of the stuff I replaced is still around. BTW, Anyone need a complete smog pump and brackets for a '68 427 Corvette? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Maybe be off the topic a bit, but if one choses to cut or repair a tank, after it is cleaned out, through in a few pounds of dry ice. That will displace the 02 and may keep you off the local news too.
I have seen some old welders ( like Shoney. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif) use this trick on small aircraft tanks.
