I see what your trying to do it looks similar to what we run in our truck 3 1x1 square tube cradles with a 22 guage sheet metal... If you plan on road racing the car 25 gallons at over 6 lbs a gallon of fuel past the real axle might make it loose with a full fuel load I have heard of people running 2 smaller cells for that reason

Fuel Safe makes a cell for the 3rd gens. It should fit into a 4th gen considering they are pretty much the same in the back. Would save a lot of fabrication work.

It looks like he already has a cell, Im pretty sure he's reffering to a cradle to hold the cell in the car...
