Looking for a Gas Cap....

So if anyone knows where we can find some tanks that will fit in this boat, let me know. We will probably be going with some flip top style fillers this time around.
I had some custom ones built so that they fit nicely in the sides. It would be hard to find something off the shelf to fit and still look good...or you could always go with the round tube type...
good luck with the overhaulin' and post up some pics of your progress...

Where did you go for your custom tanks? and how much did you pay for them?

Well, you can go to Imco or someother places but I had a local shop (buddy of mine) build them. They are aluminum and I payed $500 total for both. I can talk to my buddy and see if he can fab you up some. Just need some really good measurements or an old tank. I cut my old glass ones out and had him use them as a template to get the general shape and tweaked 'em from there.
I've heard a lot about the Coast Guard approval but honestly, the old 'glass ones I had sure the hell weren't USCG approved so what does it matter?
If you want, I can post up some pics tomorrow...
