Default Re: Gas Tank date stamping

I had found a date stamped tank on ebay back in 2001 that was 6-10-28 and kept it for the longest time thinking I would use it for a restoration "some day".

I ended up selling it because it took too much space and I needed to fund another project and have regretted it ever since.

The tank on my Phaeton has nothing wrong with it, but alas no date stamp. My car was born from generations of previous owners assembling miss-matched fenders, wheels, engine parts and gallons of bondo. In the 17 years I have owned the car I have been thinking "what if" I date stamped my own tank.

In that same 17 year period I have rebuilt and replaced most everything I could have to own a "Rolling-Correct Mostly 1928 than '29, '30 or '31 Model "A" Ford"

That was the reason for my question if anyone had tried it.
