Actually I think he's in Waller, Texas.
About an hour north of Houston. If it's Don Hart Radiator.
He did a tank for me years ago, and the price quoted sounds right. I delivered it and picked it up. (I was working at our Houston office that month.)
I think the warranty is great, but weigh that against cost of a replacement NOS tank from another vehicle, vs. a custom tank.
Bottom line: Is original what you want, or do you want non-original and upgraded? Spend as required.
To clean the tank out your own self (no BS): Place it on a rotisserie type jig to roll it over and over, fill it with a couple pounds of clean sand and cut up links from 3/8 logging chain and seal the openings. Let the set up run (Theme from Rawhide: Rollin', Rollin', Rollin',.....) Reverse the direction every 8 hours and the inside will be returned to clean white metal after a few days. I have seen people do this, and it is labor intensive to set up, but it works like a champ.
Seal it and call it good.

bb,s work real good too. buy the real large box and let em roll. put your tank in your pickup and drive around doing chores for a couple days then rotate tank and clean the other side till you get it completely clean inside.

I had mine done for a $100 at a radiator shop. They used a product called red Kote , I think. Seem to have worked fine. Its been a year.
The people who make POR15 also have a product, I dont know how well it works though.
