Actually, making your own is probably not a bad idea. Or, you could talk to Mickmate and give him some measurements and he will make one up to order.

The frame under the rear of that car is definitely overkill. If you needed to trim it to fit a tank in there, it probably wouldn't hurt the structure too much. As long as the body supports are still intact and enough metal to support the trunk you could either cut out the lower portion of the chassis frame or modify the entire tail of the chassis to fit a tank in.
Look at other Cobra kit chassis and you'll see there is very little structure in the rear of the car.
