I think the complex shape might make steel very hard to do (which is why the factory did blow molded plastic). There are fabricators that can do odd shaped aluminum cells like that but it's out of league of most of us probably.

I could be wrong, though. The WC34 Stagea kept the tank aft of the axle but went plastic at the same time so maybe it was just done for weight or cost.

Off the topic but the whole thing has me imagining how cool it would be to build a cannonball run style S14 or R33 with an additional S13/R32 tank mounted aft of the axle...
