Every guy that builds rear ends right now are scratching their heads looking at those pictures. You are making this WAY more complicated than it has to be Just an old beam style inch pound torque wrench is all you need.

Andy are you welding your own fuel tank together your self? No, I don't have a TIG. I'm okay with a MIG but I don't have much TIG experience. I take the TIG welding over to the local chassis shop and let the pros do it.

That looks really nice, I need to do a new tank. I have a sump a friend of mine and I made that didn't turn out as we wanted it to. Its amazing the amount of baffling we have in the sump and you can still hear the pump change tone when you get on the brakes, even with lots of fuel. It doesn't cause a pressure loss but something changes because you can here the pump when you normally can't.
I need to work in a tank like you have made but under the car.

I need to work in a tank like you have made but under the car. Something like this? This is the tank I have in my Duster. Got it a few years back from a place called Hot Rod City Garage which unfortunately is no longer business. Saved 18lbs from the stock tank. Fully baffled and narrowed to fit between 3" exhaust.

Why did you switch from the Dana to the 9" ? Easier to work on, doesn't take up so much space plus I wanted a gear ratio that you can't get in a Dana 60.
