Howdy everyone--

I JUST bought myself an 69 olds 98 ragtop, and I found out that the fuel tank is leaking at the seam. An outfit in town wants 500-600 dollars to fix it, but I want to see if it can be done cheaper. I'm looking for a new tank to replace the current one instead, and auto parts stores don't go that far back.

Any suggestions on finding either an all-purpose tank, or maybe finding an interchange tank from a closely-related model, like the '88 or maybe a BUick?

I also found something on JC Whitney's site about an all-purpose tank. If you have any thoughts on this, I'd like to hear them as well...
