Where do you guys go to get your gas tanks for your street rods? I need one for a 56 Coronet, but I don't want it to go in the trunk....would prefer one that would fit underneath like the existing one and also still use the stock fuel filler.

Thanks

Probably the best place I have seen is called "Tanks" and they advertise in most street rod magazines. They would likely have a model that would fit in or near your existing location and they make them in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum and polypropylene.

is this the car that was at carlisle has a 318 magnum in it? i was talking to those guys for a while. i also saw the car at machungie a few weeks ago, but no one was around.

i just bought summits 16gal. pro street fuel cell for my 47 desoto. it doesnt have a filler neck on it though.
