Coming down to the line

Well we start the trip in a little over week and I still don't have a gas tank. The one I bought off eBay has all this epoxy glue on the bottom so I started sand blasting the tank to clean it up. Well with all this rain we have been getting the blaster kept clogging up, after a few hours and I don’t know how many times cleaning the tip I gave up and took the tank down to a shot peening business. Should get it back today. Then all I have to do is weld up or solder up all the small pin holes around the bottom of the tank. Also I ordered another new tank form the local Honda dealership he guarantees that they have one in stock. I told him all about; this is the 3rd new tank I have ordered. The 1st two tanks I have order had been discontinued. I've been trying to order a gas tank for over 2 months. We see how it turns out. I do have some video of me cutting up the original tank that I want to share with you.
