my ongoing efforts to create a custom drop trunk, I'm wondering if I should make a hinged cover or just rivet them shut?
my biggest concern is air under the car creating an upward force and pushing on a 'door' - obviously it would need an attachment, lock, velcro, etc...

the 6.5" x 10" box in the center is the fuel pump access, and fuel return
the 4" circle on the driver rear is the fuel sender access
the 3" circle on the passenger front is the tank vent (not thinking I'll need access here?)



wondering who's done any access panels that go directly to tank access
I know the directions in the manual rivet them up - but doesn't really cover trunks with carpeting



I know there are drop tank covers, but those wouldn't be 'pressurized' since there's a bottom in the box below the cover - looking for some good ideas
