Hot Rods '32 style gas tank on a Model A

I recently saw a '32 style gas tank on a Model A. It had a nice sheet metal cover that blended it in and made it appear to be original. Is there a source for these?

 

Here is one possibility:

Most of the Model A's with Deuce gas tanks don't have any type of cover, but someone makes a fiberglass cover for the 32 gas tanks, I suppose it cleans up the look or covers up dents.

In fact I think I have one in my barn. HRP

 

As done by my friend Joe Brusaschetti.

 

One of the nicest installations of a deuce tank on a Model A I've seen.

 

It is, I never liked the way my old boss mounted them. Frame looked goofy until covered up.

 

Here’s an example of the Dagel’s kit with the 16 gallons tank. I really like the covers Blake 27 posted.

You might also check the recent thread “Model A Guys - gas tank question” by @HOTRODPRIMER for some ideas.

Thanks to all for the great information.

 

Blake, your friend Joe did a hell of a job! That's the first '32 style tank on an A that I have seen that doesn't stick out like a duck's butt.

 

Quack, quack, quack. Good point Jim, but it depends on the size size of the tank. A 10-gallon looks pretty nice, but my 16-gallon does remind me a little of a Mallard. Quack.

Here’s what I believe is a 10-gallon with the same kit I used with a 16-gal tank.

In my opinion, they look odd and stick out too far if you don't have the rear fenders on the car.

Here is mine. Its the 1932 repo rear frame horns welded onto the back of the Model A Frame, a Vintique Tank, Repo Spreader Bar, and aftermarket frame horn covers. Youll have to add in about a 3/4"-1" spacer on each side of the Model A frame to kick out the 32 rear frame horns as the rear of the 32 is wider than the Model A. I didn't originally build the car and whoever did didn't get it sitting level, but a little cutting, re-aligning, and re-welding fixed it. In the 1st picture is the before correcting it and you can kinda tell it was about 1/4" lower on the left side.

Youll need to assemble it all together with the frame horn covers before welding the rear frame horns on. Make sure to leave about a 1/2" gap between the top of the tank and the bottom of the rear body pan to allow for body-to-frame movement. This will give you about 1/4" gap between the Rear frame horn covers and the bottom of the body.

 

The smaller tank looks a lot better, the bigger tank on the coupe hangs out way too far.

 

With a Deuce bumper, shortened brackets look better to me.
