Any leads on a used early type gas tank (no emmissions) that's clean on the inside? Found one for $375. Gotta pass on that....I'll start scraping rust out of mine!

thanks

I've been to Owen's Export in August but I missed Steve Kopito (the owner) as he was at the MVPA convention.
I did meet Yasuaki Ikeda, his business partner who showed me around the shop. Apparently, the business was named
after the street (Owensmouth Avenue) where the shop is located.
