What would work for sticking it to the tank? I tried some spray undercoating but that won't work. I was thinking maybe some of that brush-on tar for patching roofs. Any experience with this on here? 66 satellite conv w/413, cam & headers, 3.55 gears. 89 Dodge w150 4x4 318 Tbi. Opec's friend 72 Imperial coupe

I guess just to hold them in place while I put it in. The original was glued on with something, wouldn't come off w/o tearing it up. 66 satellite conv w/413, cam & headers, 3.55 gears. 89 Dodge w150 4x4 318 Tbi. Opec's friend 72 Imperial coupe

(Not the spray on foam insulation) The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
