[AJD] GP gas cap

On the fuel tank, if it were me, I would wrap/clad the entire bottom and up well on to the sides with new metal, fit it as best I can and then seal the tank with tank sealer. I know that would work and the hood would hide the seams as they would be on the sides.
Maybe I will get a wild hair and take a few classes on running a lathe and a mill, who knows.
