I tried looking it up on Tanks Inc...but they don't show any '57 tanks other than the T-Bird. However, if you call them, I bet they could make one for you...or tell you where to shop for one.

See if a local radiator shop can clean and seal it?   
I used the white hirsch auto gas tank sealer stuff in a 59 Dodge tank that had been pierced at the junk yard and never leaked.

Well...if we're gonna start talking about repairs...a competent welder could fill it with water and then just weld the thing too. LOL!!! Not me though...I...am NOT competent at welding!

I used the Bill Hirsch "white" gas tank sealer on a car I have. Did it 25 plus years ago. Preparation is the key to a good outcome. I have not had any gas tank issues in 25 years.
