Hey Paul you're thinking about a tank for the right breed. I've made one for an LA Exotics before. You can make one for yours without that big hump and dead space alongside it for more capacity. I use a 5052 marine grade aluminum 0.090" thick. It TIG welds and also bends pretty nicely and still gives good rigidity. I also make them from stainless 18Ga 304 though ally seems more popular. Build a couple of baffles into it while you're at it. The Centroid senders work well and are easy to calibrate right out of the tank once you've figured their length. There are a few pics on my site for design ideas or let me know if you have any questions on building them.
