Am I missing something? It’s a new tank. Don’t you want what you paid for? A repaired gas tank is a sub standard service/repair. Welding or brazing on that tank makes zero sense..............it’s new, under warranty, they already will take it back, and any repair will be half assed. Makes NO sense.

How about something else......and a Cord🤗
Both very high maintenance propositions, that will surly tax you bank account. On the positive side, both will offer an above average ride.......... as it says on the case of Jack Daniels whiskey........”all goods worth price charged!” 😇-

“Throbbing with vitality”..........count me in!
According to the ad, “She deserves a Cord!” Personally, if it were up to me, I would give her something else.......🤔

If I’m going to spend years and huge sums of money restoring something, I want the end result to please me.....not some book worm who doesn’t own a car but is a judge at meets or shows. When I order a steak, I order it the way I want it......not the way my dinner companion likes it.

Pull the tank......it’s a fuel leak. Fix it right, or better yet, replace it. Send photos to them ASAP. They won’t cover the labor.........it’s actually no big deal to R & R the tank.........you just did it. Is a fire and burning the car or your garage to thr ground worth it?

Thanks Gary, the bearing needed is in the steering box.
Steering box bearings are different than general industrial type bearings, and generally are not available. Most of those boxes also used bushings extensively, which is not a good idea either. Why do you need a bearing? Rust? Worn? Dents? Most often they can be saved if not rusty. You most likely going to need a good used box if what you have isn’t serviceable.

Should be easy to locate with just one phone call. I have a suspicion of where it is......or a similar one too it. -

Here's a better look at that 1933 Packard Twelve Dietrich Sport Phaeton:
The first CCCA Grand Classic I ever attended while still a teenager, I was looking at the Dick Dewey 1932 Dietrich that is now in the Bahre collection in Maine. While admiring the rear flip up wind wing........,a gentleman came over to me and showed me how it worked, and explained he designed it in 1930 at the university of Michigan in the automotive engineering program as part of his graduation requirement. I was too young to get his name or take a picture.........thus a small piece of history is lost to time.

It's a 1912 Pierce Arrow, model 48. I'm with Bob, I'd find garage space for it as is.
I know where an IDENTICAL car is parked, in the origional carriage house. It hasn't run since the war. I have been trying to buy it since the 80's. It's the last great car I have been trying to land most of my life.

Most of it was anti theft, and for special wiring considerations like startix, Hershey lock, temperature control......yes, some coils are water cooled, fitting through the firewall, lots of reasons. Ignition by 1930 give or take became much more universal and consistent.

I have been buying Timken bearings on Amazon for the 1917 White just by measurement of id and od in metric measurements. Fast, easy, and cheap.
