What type of shop would you take a gas tank to?
I bought a replacement gas tank for my 1991 Formula - The filler neck was welded (looks soldered, actually) in the wrong orientation (it's clocked at about 10 o'clock instead of 12.
What type of local shop would you ordinarily take a fuel tank to, to have this type of repair done? I've never had to take a fuel tank anywhere, so it's all new to me.

I was going to say a radiator shop as well - call a few and ask before driving all over town.

Called a shop this morning and they sounded reasonable. Took 'em 1 day - I got a call at their closing time saying it was ready for pickup in the morning. Only cost $35+tax, which RockAuto is reimbursing me for.
I'm excited to get it back in the car and FINALLY get the car on 4 wheels (been on 2 jackstands for 2 weeks now!)

It's not so much RockAuto as it is their manufacturers. Spectra Premium is the only manufacturer of aftermarket gas tanks for our cars, so I was kind of prepared for some fitment issues. I will say that RockAuto did try to rectify the situation, so I can't fault them there.
