most correct gas tank out there
 
It has been a while since I had to get one, Does Quanta still make the most correct (quality) repro gas tank for the late 60's GM stuff.? Any new players in that arena that are worthy.? Thnx in advance

Quanta and Spectra are the same company if I remember right.

Spectra sells to Quanta. The best price I have found is at rockauto.com

Quanta is a different company. Spectra is a Canadian company and they were a supplier that GM used in the past. I use their tanks and they are nice and accurate.

Are these better than the NOS GM ones?

The NOS ones I had gotten have had shelf damage, which is why I use the Spectra gas tank. They look identical.

I like the Specta as well, and agree 100% about NOS tanks, there always goobered up, not worth messing with. JMO

Thx for the replies, decision made. Another question, for a frame off restored driver, what are the best methods for keeping the tank looking fresh/new.? I know the welded seems should be cleared with something to prevent rusting, any other ideas out there.? Thx again

Honestly Jim, I just clean mine up and wax it once and a while. Looks good for 10 years now on the camaro.
