i like the overall shape of the tank, but if i change the seat from stock, there will be indentations left where the stock seat fits. Im thinking of filling this in with the epoxy putty, then using body filler to smooth it out.
any thoughts?

This is a one-way trip, beware...
Get regular polyester body filler, Bondo is one brand but seek out a local autobody paint supply house or go online with
http://www.autobodytoolmart.com (extremely recommended by moi). Sand with 180 or so all nooks and crannies where filler will be applied, mix per instructions and apply. Shape with a "cheese grater" type body filler rasp while still soft, or spend extra effort while applying. Once it's shaped and sanded to your preferences top off with good quality primer then paint.
