Just fired up my 64 1/2 Mustang for the first time - It sounds good. The gas tank was empty to begin with and I added just under 2 gallons to try firing it up. I later noticed the tank was leaking through the solid bottom - must have rusted through from the inside because the exterior doesn't look that bad. Also the tank is just sitting there not bolted down, but the fuel line is still connected. It may have been loosened for replacement already. Anyway, I'm going to replace the tank with drain plug and the sending unit and probably the filling tube also. I'm not doing a concours renovation but still would like it to look as original as possible. I know there are multiple vendors that sell them, but I don't know how much the quality and fit varies between them. Any recommendations for vendors or manufacturers?

 

I got mine from cjponyparts. Minus the decades of goop, the gas tanks looked identical

 

Thanks!

 

Mustang Country, 800-50-MUSTANG, they used to sell them for $100 with the drain plug, not sure if the price is still the same
