Anyone know a source for a fuel tank for a 68 coronet with sump already welded in?

I had a Comp Engineering sump welded to my stock tank . Then used a tank sealer to stop rust . No problems .

http://themopardude.com/CUSTOM_GAS_TANKS.htmlThey offer custom all aluminum tanks with that option as well as efi options. I debated going with them but built my own sump instead however I've heard great things. Pricing is a little high but they are baffeled as well! I bought one of these last year, these are my 2 complaints, first the fuel sending unit was on the wrong side of the tank. Second, I'm not completly crazy about the filler neck (you must cut off your filler neck from your old tank and they provide a coupling to the new tank). I bought some aluminum tubing and had my buddy weld the aluminum filler neck and cap on, I also had him weld a bracket on the side of the tank so I was able to mount my mallory fuel filter.

Tex You sure they didn't use sealer inside to stop the leaks? Sealer inside a fuel tank is never good, sorry.

I bought some aluminum tubing and had my buddy weld the aluminum filler neck and cap on, I also had him weld a bracket on the side of the tank so I was able to mount my mallory fuel filter. He sent me pix of the all the tank options and your right about the filler neck.One thing that appeals to me is that the tank is completely baffeled. Just putting a sump in a stock tank you still have to deal with fuel shooting to the filler and most b bodies ive ever seen at the track splashes fuel out of the back even with newe tanks and gromets.The neck i can deal with on this one but good to know about the sender location.Perhaps he can locate it per request durring dab? Also one cool thing is he can make mount provision for electric pump on the sode or front of the tank, Pricy but cool! $650 delivered and 10 day lead time.
