Nick's fuel tank drawing

Thanks for the drawing. I will fab one today out of light gage alum and try to fit it in the chassis. Do you have photos or tips on exactly where it fits and how it is fastened? Does it fit under the trunk floor... centered? How close does the front of the tank come to the crossbrace on the back of the frame with the 3 holes in it?

How would 1/8" alum be for a tank like that? Or is stainless the way to go?
Does that tank need baffles for front & rear movement of the fuel?

I understand you will take a bit of time to fab the tank but when will it be ready? Or what year will it be ready? hahaha

Thanks very much Bob & Nick for the info, Karl
