    I had safety in mind when I was building the tank area in the trunk of my '32. I constructed a 5/8 inch plywood surround that walled off the tank from the passenger area. Then I use fiberglass matte to glass it into the floor, top, and sides of the trunk. I also reinforced the frame behind the rear facia thinking that those two things would help protect me in a rear end crash situation. I don't know if anything would protect one in a 70 mph hit in one of these cars.
