Richard, the car's owner, will be back in the country soon and work on the Ford will resume shortly after. (The Opel GT is done and the Opel 1900 almost.)

The radiator needed rebuilding but our radiator shop guy, Juan, recommended replacing it, rather than re-coring it. Juan also took a look at the gas tank, which was nearly full of late-1950s gasoline-turned-jelly, and recommended the same. He could rebuild both, but the cost would be more than Richard would probably want to pay.

Richard found a new replacement tank with all the accessories so we will probably go with that.

I'm looking forward to working on the Ford again.
