Get a fuel tank cover, easily made to hide the frame rails, too.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I do not think these covers will close off the area intended. If you look at the cover you will see mounting holes that are shared with the rear spreader bar. Also note that one of the covers has a relief to clear the gas tank filler neck. With that in mind, look at the pictures of the body and you will see these covers will not come close to closing off the area intended.

This is how a original 32 3W looks ...with the fuel tank installed.
I noticed your body does not have the same shape below the decklid
Also ... no recessed area for the fuel tank neck ... SO ... IMHO ... you will have to fabricate something to match your body ...

I'm at this same point with my 32 roadster build. I did not like the (IMO) "unfinished look" of the open corner area between the gastank and the frame on my fenderless Rod Bod highboy.
Steve's Auto offers some metal corners that can be fab'd to fill the area but there a little pricy at $350/pair. So, I took a damaged cruiser motorcycle fender and cut it down the middle and then cut some patch panels out of the halves for the "compound curve" part needed for the corners. These were installed on the corners with some flat sheet stock on each side formed to match the original body lines. It looks much better now.
Sorry no photos yet.
