Be sure to check out http://classic-cougar.com/hall-of-shame.php while you are there. Also, www.kenscougars.com parts out old cougars as well. I have never used either of these places so can't comment on them further, but you could certainly call them and see what's up.

57 Plymouth... hmmm when I was considering buying that 47 Cadillac I figured I'd first call around about replacement gas tanks. Best you could do is 500 bucks for a refurbed tank with no guarantees. Errr... never mind.

you pay your money u get your parts, the chinese parts tend to be crap no matter car you have mainly because they are made for ludricously low money and the distrubtor/vendor gets the profit i'm sure the shops get at least 80% mark up. Copying a press tool isn't that hard, i spent a few summers working for a tool maker, but it does take time and test runs.

I've used mustang unlimited, NPD, and CJ Pony - Summit for mechanical & ignition stuff. CJ & Summit shipping is super fast, they have knowledgeable people taking order. CJ has been running a special for last couple months any internet orders placed on Weds no charge for shipping.
