Replaced a leaking fuel line this weekend and noticed while I was under the car that the fuel tank might have one or two very tiny pin hole leaks. Who is making the best aftermarket tanks right now? I tried searching the forum but could not fine any information. Maybe this has been discussed before. Car is a 1972 Cutlass supreme. Thanks for the help as always! ]]> Cutlass Weslax25 https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/cutlass-25/fuel-tank-recommendations-1972-a-191493/ https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/cutlass-25/cooling-fan-info-replacement-191416/ Fri, 08 May 2026 21:31:31 GMT I need to replace the cooling fan on my 1969 cutlass - 350 olds, auto, a/c. the fan appears original 6 blade 19”.

Left fender is almost done, just the left door to rework. So starting to focus on trunk and hood. I don’t see much drama in the trunk underside. Just scuff, epoxy prime and paint the new red pearl.

But the underside of the hood, I would like to have look nice. Factory treatment was a glue on fiberglass sound matt. Not very impressive and a grease and oil magnet that is not very friendly to being cleaned. And paint the metal outside edges black, or car body color? I’m not sure since I think this car has seen the body shop more than once. I could carefully remove all the old paint and crud and just paint it the new color, but the gaps between top metal and structural reinforcement would look bad.

I found a product called AcoustiHood. I think it an improvement over the factory solution. Factory fiberglass is about 40 bucks. Acoustihood is about $400 to the door. Example. https://www.opgi.com/gaskets-seals/w...o-CH30589.html. This one is for a Montecarlo, but they make them for just about any car. They will put a Cutlass emblem on it for a few more bucks.

So, if you have a solution you are liking, please post up a pic, give me and idea. Thanks!


Left hood hinge is off, but you get the idea of what I now have



Looks like Factory used an assembly adhesive squirted randomly between hood skin and skeletal structure



Random holes in multiple places



Under hood light. Not even sure I will put it back, with a new one.
