I like it. Shaped better than the 4.5. Some color matched flush mount caps might look good.

Wish I had the tools, patience and brain cells to do this kind of stuff.

Yeah. I'd need your tank for the tunnel & fuel pump mounting hole template if you want it to be a direct fit to your current mounts.
