New gas tank?

My old gas tank has a hole in it. Does anyone know where I can get a new replacement? My local parts stores (Autozone, Pep Boys) said they have discontinued carrying replacement gas tanks. Too bad, their price was $130 for a new tank.

Failing that, can I replace the hole in my existing tank? Does JB Weld really work in the long run? Thanks.

too bad your in CA. i have an entire car i'm parting out. you can get gas tanks from some boneyards, providing they haven't crushed them. i've used gas tank repair putty for mine before. i've also used JB weld. they both have held up.
