Before I start playing Phillip Marlow I thought I'd ask here. What's a good source for a 41 8cyl fuel tank? The one we have in our 160 is toast. Sitting since the 70s in a museum will do that I guess. Thanks in advance for any leads.

Maybe read through this:

There's no repairing this one at all. In a museum since 74 and it rusted from the inside out. The tank belies the rest of the car's condition, and the top was torn out like paper when when it was dropped out for cleaning. I don't know if any of the proposals in that link materialized but worth a look. I'd be in the market for a good used tank, even a good repairable.

I haven't dealt with them, but you may want to take a look at, Rock Valley Antique Auto Parts. wwwrockvalleyantiqueautoparts.com

I bought a nice reproduction tank for my 41 160 from Kepich around 4 years ago. Price, I think was $800. It is very good.
