 Topic: 1969 Torino Fuel TankPosted: July-22-2011 at 8:04pm |

I have been in the process of restoring a 1969 Correct Craft Torino. Have overhauled the origional engine and updated to electronic ignition, but have run into a problem with the fuel tank. The origional tank is rotted out in the bottom. I have tried to find a replacement but have ot found one. Any ideas? Where can I find a replacement?
Thanks, Mike K |

Welcome Mike.Might have to custom make one, you still have the old one to copy? At least your in a good state to find someone.My Dad had some made for a Shamrock by a guy who made towers and did trailer repairs in the Keys.Here's a place I just googled.I have no idea about their work,but it gives you a place to start and ask questions. Check out this thread Jeff had a tank made and it's on the 1st page of the thread. How about some pictures of your project?

Mike, Use the "post reply" and not the "quick reply". Click on the icon of the tree with the up arrow. It will bring up a browse window allowing you to select any picture off your your computer. The only problem that may come up is the picture size. Resize them to fit the CCfan site screen size as it's best for visually seeing the image and not having to scroll left to right. If your computer doesn't have a resize program, photobucket.com have it. You can set your profile to automatically resize any picture you upload into the site. Then, it's a copy of the url and paste onto the CCfan response. BTW, I have a feeling you'll need a custom fabed belly tank made. Welcome to CCfan. We'll be waiting for those pictures!!
