Dave,
I used a piece of galvanized sheet tin that was actually used for fabricating heat runs in a house. The cold air return to the furnace is usually a rectangular sheet metal afair. That sheet metal is sold in pieces in home improvement stores and it actually comes in 'L' shaped half sections (one short and one long leg)anywhere from 3' to about 7' long. One of the bends is already done for you so just clamp your wooden form up against it and bring the other side up and you have the basic tank shape. Then form up the ends. Be sure to allow enough length to form the ends from the original piece to end up with a suitable finished tank length.
