i just bought this car a few weeks ago. It was dormant for 30 years. I got it up and running and it runs great. Problem is that is needs a gas tank. The original has rust that is pretty bad. These tanks are hard to find. Anyone know of a tank that can fit other than the original? thanks much, Nick

 

you can go to eBay, all sorts of good deals on 59 Chevy tanks. That's where I found mine.

There is a problem though. They are making the reproduction Chevy tanks only 16 gallons. The originals were 20 gallons. Plus, I'm going to have to drill some holes in the trunk to resecure the straps and do some other serious modifications, so I'm going to pass on this option and probably end up biting the bullet and go with Fusick. The car is very original and rust free so I don't want to tamper with changing things around. If I do decide to sell it he car at some point, the new owner wouldn't appreciate the Mickey Mouse gas tank arrangement
