Thanks everyone, I guess heat is likely going to be the best option. I hate to remove the original bump stops but they may have to go.... I will remove the tank, it is pretty rusty anyways, Luckily I found a similarly painted old black tank that appears clean inside to put in it's place. This whole thing took the wind out of my sails on the car, I was hoping to get the motor back to running condition and just drive it around... That's how it always goes it seems.... In the end it's a neat old 32 Ford so it's still fun to work on....

Thanks!
