Buy the shaved gas plate from ebay have it welded and smoothed in. Buy a retractable antenna they come with the correct antenna plug with the hole for the antenna. Simple. Believe mine was autolock purchased at Autozone.

Either aluminum or stainless steel would be nice.

I've got one of those tanks too, I think any good fabricator could build one pretty easy. Cost might be an issue though as there would probably be several hours of welding involved.
