Default Aluminum information (seeking)

I have a motorcycle that I have been dragging around for 38 years and I need a gas tank, made out of aluminum alloy.

Anyone in the west Houston area?

Anyone in the area want to walk me through the process, hands on? Material selection, process, welding, etc.?

Thanks.
