'87 gas tank ?

[Slammed '87]

I was wondering if it is possible to shorten my stock gas tanks. What i mean exactly, and hoping i can do is cut out a 2" section in the middle to raise up the bottom. Will the pump work still. I have yet to pull the pump outta mine to look, but i was thinking i could modify the tubes to fit the shortened tank? I don't want a relocated tank(s). Also if this is possible, who do i get to do this job. I know i read an ad somewhere that this is possible, but you have to have someone who knows what their doing ie: KABOOM lol Any answers??? This is one of my next projects, any info would be sweet! Thanks
