Well, the 68 2000 I'm putting back together, had such nice carbs (they were 
completely overhauled by Z-Therapy), I decided to take out the gas tank to 
have it treated, cleaned out the lines, and put all new connections from the 
tank, sticking out of the car. When I pulled out the sending unit, I was 
completely shocked at how much crap was sitting on the bottom of the tank. 
Not to mention, the sending unit looked like something that was recovered 
from the Titanic. I'll probably replace it also. My question is this. Based 
on the way the Roadsters fuel filler neck is designed (Sticking out of the 
back of the car), has anyone decided to retrofit their tank so that you have 
to open the trunk in order to fill it? This would keep 99% of the weather 
issues out of the tank over time. Is there any greater danger of fumes etc. 
doing this?
