Custom Gas Tank Dimensions?

Was gonna buy the Mid Early Year Ford Kustom gas tank ($419 plus shipping). Had a friend give me a load of stainless steel this week. Hoping to get some dimensions so I can weld my own custom tank. Any drawings or measurement anyone has used would be much appreciated.

Hi Mike
