Fuel tank fabrication recommendations?

Any recommendations for someone who can design and fabricate an aluminum fuel tank from scratch for a project?

Unless it’s a very custom shape, I’d buy one off the Jungle website. Lots of options, a fraction of the expense of a custom.

Anyone familiar with aluminum welding can fab a tank, most won’t touch that work if it’s for fuel.

It eventually needs to be a custom under-seat design to replace and double as the rear subframe with clearance for the shock, but I looked on Amazon and didn't realize how cheap standard cylindrical tanks are, so I might just grab one of those for now and use it while I mock up the new bodywork (which requires removing the stock tank).
 
What bike is this for ?
 
What's the difference in fuel tank size in the before and after?
 
Ok. stupid question time. Why is fabricating from scratch the preferred path instead of buying smc parts that exist?
 
I think I saw that project a few years ago or might be a similar one and I thought it was amazing.

Best of luck
