Default speeedster gas tank

i'm slowly working on my speedster project. i want to use an oval "t" gas tank sitting verticle instead of flat. i don't trust the original tanks i see on ebay/amazon, they look rough. a while back i found a web site for a company that makes t tank in various sizes, shapes, and prices(all pricy), but can't remember the company/ website. another case of seniorites????

Do like we did in the 60s. Snag a beer keg from behind the liquor store.
