Its going to be about 21-23 gallons once complete. He wanted it out of stainless because he is going to use e-85. Apperently e-85 eats thru aluminum over time. I'm not 100% sure on that but thats why SS was used instead of alum. I have a torchmate cnc plasma.

That's going to look nice. Should prove some good traction, too.
