Ben, That is correct. Send them a CAD type file and it is in the mail within 2 or 3 days.
Price varies on material used. For the tank it ranges from 29.00 to 161.00. I used the material recommended by several folks that have done this before which is the FUD. So it puts the price in the mid range. Considering I only want 4 maybe 6 cars that price suits me fine. Just in the process of trying to find something to use as the various valves on the top dome.
