>Went out for the afternoon and lifted the trunk....very strong gas smell.
Before I start tearing things apart, does anyone have any suggestions on
where to start looking? any specific gaskets, clamps, seams, etc., or do I
just plan on gutting it.

Gary,
There are many opportunities for gas leaks at the tank. Is the smell worse
when the tank is full? If so then you could have a leak at the fuel level
sending unit. You could have a leak at the big hose connection to the
filler cap. You could have a leak at the vent tube connections at the top
of the tank. All of these can be checked without removing the tank. The
sender should have a cork gasket and is held in place with six screws.
Each of these screws should have a fibre washer under the head.
If all this checks out then you may have a leaky tank and then it is time
to gut it. But check the easy things first.
