[DeTomaso] Gas tank bung

[Art Stephens]

Sean,
     You could try these guys:  www.gastankrenu.com  If they are not 
convenient,  I would think you could find a radiator shop with experience 
working on old gas tanks that could help you out.  I personally wouldn't 
want to be within a hundred yards of the project,  no matter who is working 
on it!
