Default '33-34 Car Gas Tank Baffles

If anyone has cut open the top of a '33-34 car gas tank, can you tell me the extent of the baffle panels? Looking inside a tank, I can see a slosh panel that obviously surrounds the gas supply and sending unit. But are there more baffles elsewhere in the tank? And were the baffles spot welded to the top or bottom of the tank during assembly at the factory?

Thanks,
-Mike

Mart had posted pics of the inside of his 33 5w gas tank as he cut the top open to clean it .

Here are my pics:

The baffles are not welded to the top panel.

Mart,

Perfect. I have 2 tanks that I need to open and clean, and I needed to know what to expect.
Thank you very much, -Mike
