The top tube of that chopper slopes at almost the same angle as those mopeds (the kind with pedals) from the 1970s. Maybe you can get a tank from an old Sachs or Peugot moped. Fabbing the mounting hardware shouldn't be too tough.

I Agree. If you're fortunate enough to have a motorcycle salvage yard near you, that would be my suggestion. I've also seen many tanks on ebay that would work.
I made a tank for my chopper using foam and fiberglass because I couldn't find the shape and size I needed.
That is a great looking bike for a project. Keep us informed of your progress if you build it.
