[Zmagnette] Gas tank photo

Thu Dec 5 07:18:06 MST 2013

Mike,

Thanks,  Hopefully that information will be helpful to Arch and perhaps
others.
I looked into using their services years ago for an old Mercedes I once
had.  I heard that do good work.  However, I found a NOS gas tank for the
old Mercedes and went that way.

Thanks for jogging my memory I had forgotten about them.
