Default Gas Tank Opinions?

I am at the point in my build where I need to decide on a tank for my 67 Chevelle. I was really considering using a Ricks Hotrod tank because it is stainless and looks nice. However I see that Rock Auto sells a tank for about half price, the only thing is the Rock Auto tank is a factory tank from Spectre out of Canada. Has anybody bought either tank if so what is your opinion on them.

This should help ya. I have the tank, it looks like a well built unit and I have no problems with it outside the car, I have not put it in yet.

Thanks for the link. Rock Auto has the same tank for less money though. I really like the Ricks tank but the $1250 hurts.

I'm going to use the Spectre tank from Rock Auto. I've heard alot of good things about it and you can't beat the price from Rock Auto! I was going to use a 3rd gen. Camaro sending unit in a new stock tank but after the cost of a new tank, pump and fabrication and installation of a baffle it just seems more practical to go with the Spectre. And it's a bolt in deal too!

The stainless tanks are really nice but I would have a hard time spending that much.
