Default Oh yes

Forgot about names going missing when replying.

There are also three internal baffles to be made and spot welded into place.

And yes, the tank liner you pour in is also available here.

Terry has a good point, and it is not hard to roll up a tank. The ends are crimped into the body, but if you were to place them about 5-7mm inside the body & weld it up, it would look very genuine. Also NO RUST inside.

As long as you had a filler neck & a sender (if you wanted it), you would be right. Any decent sheet metal shop could make it in a few hours. (I estimate about 1 1/2 by a good sheety.

NOTE:
Don't throw away your old tanks either: Someone might want to repair them one day. Pinholed, dented, split...they are repairable. It is just time & effort vs. cost.
