Keegan,

Just as a by-the-way suggestion. Some old-car filler tubes are nothing but a piece of rubber hose and a couple of big hose clamps. No real need for much fabrication as long as you leave a piece of straight nipple on the donor tank positioned where you can run the hose to the fuel inlet door, and a piece of the original filler neck to receive the other end of the hose.

I happened across this setup on a '47 Dodge I helped rebuild. Dangdest thing, but I'm pretty sure it was original equipment, and no reason it wouldn't work if the hose is of the right material to resist damage from gasoline.
