The best way is to leave it on the tank and install another tank. Just a opinion....

Agree with Charlie 100% on this one. Most everyone regrets removing it after they do the deed and usually end up messing it up at least a little. A 45 year old car can probably use a new gas tank anyway.

My was coming apart so I just clear taped it to the tank after I took pictures of it and put it back up.

the best thing to do is cut it out still attached to the tank and put it in a secure area https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

The cut-out piece is a little easier to store in a safe-deposit box/fire safe than the whole tank...unless your Charley and have a vault for your money...

To take it a step further I would video/document the removal of the tank as further proof that it came from a particular car. Since there is not a vin# on a tank sticker anything you can do to provide additional documentation is a plus.

It would be terrible to cut up a good original tank if it was a ZL! or L88 or even a special car why wouldnt somebody put plastic over it and just use the tank most cars arent driven anyways. My car isnt a high dollar car but still wont be driven in a lot of bad weather

Be careful how you cut the tank. You cannot use any grinders with sparks, or something like a plasma cutter. If you do, you'll have bigger problems than a ripped tank sticker.

That's actually something I've considered doing. Taking a plasma cutter and VERY carefully cutting out about 3 inches or so around the sticker itself.
