Alternate '32 gas tank location

I've searched the archives about alternate options for a gas tank in my '32 chassis - '31 coupe, with a '41 x-member. I want to keep the rumble area as big as possible for the kids. Any reason that I couldn't use the area between the outer frame rail and the center x-member, with the tank equal to the depth of the frame?

I'm sure that I could figure out a way to reroute the exhaust and plumbing to get it out of that area.

Attached is a pic of the setup. I don't have one of mine here, so I stole one from Bass that is the same.

Thanks
Mike

 

If you made the gas tank as a full width, full heighth divider between the passenger compartment and the rumble seat, it wouldnt have to be more than 3 or 4 inches thick and could still hold a lot of gas.
It would also be the most protected place in the event of a wreck.

 

This is where I am looking to make a tank as well, did you come up with your solution?

 

MIKE...what's wrong with the stock location. hell it's worked for 70 yrs. O.K. like put an alumunum tank on the front bumper...POP.
