Replacement Gas Tanks or Patterns

[6219_Rules]

I am searching for either OEM replacement gas tanks for 1940's Cadillacs or, failing that, the production blanks for the remanufacturing of said tanks? Thanks in advance!!! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Again..Randall

RE gas tanks - perhaps you may be interested in the comments I just "posted" on this subject - in the PACKARDS section.

Gotcha! Thanks again. I just checked. Never hurts to ask more than once <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OUCH. I thought I would keep you all informed on the escalating cost of the tank...yes that is right, the price keeps going up. It was $1075 and now looking to be higher so they can put in a fuel filter. I should have pitched the original and had another made. At this rate, it would have been cheaper by 50%. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The moral of this story is if you are not sure or unknowledgable about the problem, ask online, call your club advisors or friends and DO NOT TAKE IT TO YOUR MECHANIC until you know what can and has to be done. This was a ridiculous waste of money. Sad to say, were it not for the demise of my other car, I would be hard pressed to afford it. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
