Steve, doing the tanks yourself is not that hard.  R&R is the hardest
part of the task.  

I did my tanks, and used some pea gravel and water, which was shaken not
stirred, inside the tanks, to remove the loose rust. I then washed with
soap and water, did the pea gravel again, and again, it the water is dirty.

Then dry the inside of the tanks.  A hot day will do this quickly.  Pour
in the sealer, available from various sources, and the next day they are
ready to reinstall. If you have holes, a radiator shop can fix it.  They
can also dip the tanks for you.

Of course, replace all the hoses.  

Good Luck

Larry
