Here is what I am thinking: Put a T into the rubber hose that is the current vent between the tank and the filler neck. From the T, run a hose or pipe up to the top of the trunk. From one of the bolts that hold the tail fins on, I can hang either a gas tank vent valve, or a roll over valve. Then, from the other side of the valve, run another line out of the trunk and someplace down low to vent any gas outside of the trunk. This puts the valve up high so no gas can spill out and I retain a gas tank vent. I would then seal the vent in the gas cap. With a roll over valve, I have the added safety of not spilling all the gas out in the unlikely event of a roll over.
Basically, adding 1960's or 1970's technology to the gas tank. On the HAMB there seems to be quite a few people that have done stuff like this to hotrods.
