Default Custom fuel cell?

Does anyone know where I can purchase a bolt in fuel cell? Looking for a 5-8gal. I liked the idea of mounting in stock location with a trap to on top? Or mount it in t-top holders? I just don't know if there is enough room between the top floor and the rear end when the car leaves. If knew i had enough, I would just order a cell from Jegs. The cells are 9in tall.

Speed Inc makes a cell the bolts in the factory location. It hold 15 gallons as well. Here is a pic or 2 of mine.

It was built by Speed Inc, or at least sold by them. It is 1/8" thick aluminum. Im not too sure how they pressure tested it. The only bitch I have with it is that it takes forever to fill at the gas station. I think Nasty Performance, a sponsor here, sell one too.
