Stock tank will work fine. Becareful when you are cutting around the frame though. The fuel lines run right there. The fill tube will be in the same spot. The tub shouldn't go that far.

Plasma cutter should be accurate enough for it all. I guess we'll just have to see. and the tank and lines should be off the car by the time I'm ready to cut it anyways. And the tanks gonna be sumped so the lines will prolly go in a completely different location

You will have to ask the customer. Call Jason @ Thunder Racing.

The fuel tank may give problems if the car is lowered down(which is why I did my mini-tub) with a 9 inch rear end, the rear end pumkin will hit the tank.
