Got a tote full of parts this morning. Plus a bonus lighted motor with the deal. Gonna start sorting and making a list of parts I will need. Does anyone know if the gas tank is soldered seams? I wanna go the powder coating way but they wont do it if it is soldered.

I powdered a tank the powder takes great.. but the seam will leak after the heat.. I guess that is why they are asking.. I used tank sealer after the powder coat and it worked great.. without the sealer it leaked very badly...

Thank you for the response. I kinda thought it was. If you don't mind me asking you, what was the name of the sealer you used? Thank you.

Well, the frame is at a friends paint shop for two months now. It closed for lock down for over 3 weeks. And the misc parts are at the powder coater that has also been closed down for over 3 weeks. At this point I would like to thank Karen and OldMiniBikes for the opportunity, but I will have to bow out this year.
