HI! Does anyone know a place where i can get a old pemco tank fully restored? preferably some place in San Francisco Bay Area. Any help would be great because i really have no idea where to start looking.
 
I saw that tank on CL!! I dig it! What you need done?
 
Hi Martin, lots of works, the frame needs to be re polished, probably need to replace the tank because there a ton of scratches, and retro fit some lighting.
 
You might be able to get a glass shop to help you out since there is a metal frame to the tank? While the glass is out you could take it to some one that does polishing. I don't think you will find a place that actually does tank restoration so to speak! If you have someone do it for you ask around and look for a small mom&pop shop. How much was it and how big I can't remember? I was interested when I saw it for sale!
 
i picked it up for $100 the tank dimensions are 73x22.5x16.5 inches, pretty good deal but im sure im going to be spending alot more on the resto. it almost fell outta my truck lol because the old owner said the stand/tank was one piece, but when i hit a bump it the tank pop off and came close to tiping over and outta the truck, had to pull over in the middle of the freeway (in the pouring rain) and to reset everything.
 
LOL thats funny I remember it was listed as one piece! Good luck and keep us posted I subscribed to your thread.
