Jim,

I learned a long time ago to never underestimate stupidity.

Anyway, as I understand it the gas tank top and bottom are the same stamping. Perhaps a mould could be made of the good bottom half of your tank. A company called Abatron advertises mouldmaking and casting compounds in Old House Journal. Who knows get it worked out right and you could go into the Packard gas tank business.

Supposedly there is brand new gas tank that is in the basement of woman I bought the Derham from that goes with car. If it is still there I was thinking it could be used as a template for making new tanks. Maybe make it out of Kevlar. Then again, refer to my first sentence. Good luck with it.
