Bill, it wasn't too bad since I am a sheet metal worker. I built the new tank to hug the trunk floor and odd-shaped to make better use of the available space. As far as fabbing the tank, 2hrs to cut and shape pieces of 14ga. S/S at shop. Took the pieces home, 4hrs to fit and heliarc weld and finish. Another 6hrs to remove old tank, modify brackets, and install new tank and modify trunk floor. It does help to have a fully-equipped fab shop at your disposal.
