Interesting project. I'm looking into a racing fuel cell for my kit car. Check out JEGs. Couldn't hurt with a front-mounted gas tank, and they do come in reasonable sizes but that funny shaped front space .. yer on yer own. :) FWIW on my '72 I got a new tank from Mexico. It's okay. John C suggests they be coated, so consider that if you get one.

Alright now,...............those of you having a website to get one, share the "canadian" gas tank with this feller.

If my memory serves correctly, I believe there's a good quality one made in "The Great White North"
