Re: TANK STICKER CORVETTE
The best way is to leave it on the tank and install another tank. Just a opinion....

Re: TANK STICKER CORVETTE
Agree with Charlie 100% on this one. Most everyone regrets removing it after they do the deed and usually end up messing it up at least a little. A 45 year old car can probably use a new gas tank anyway.

To take it a step further I would video/document the removal of the tank as further proof that it came from a particular car. Since there is not a vin# on a tank sticker anything you can do to provide additional documentation is a plus.

Re: TANK STICKER CORVETTE
It would be terrible to cut up a good original tank if it was a ZL! or L88 or even a special car why wouldnt somebody put plastic over it and just use the tank most cars arent driven anyways. My car isnt a high dollar car but still wont be driven in a lot of bad weather

Re: TANK STICKER CORVETTE
Be careful how you cut the tank. You cannot use any grinders with sparks, or something like a plasma cutter. If you do, you'll have bigger problems than a ripped tank sticker.

Re: TANK STICKER CORVETTE
That's actually something I've considered doing. Taking a plasma cutter and VERY carefully cutting out about 3 inches or so around the sticker itself.

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?
