Hi Irelands child, I am currently building a 1930 Brookville Model A roadster with metal fenders. I did not like the idea of plastic side gas tanks nor did I like the thought of the rear gas tank like on deuces. I talked with a man who has been professionally building hotrod for SoCal for many years. He pulled out detailed pictures of the custom made steel gas tanks he makes that ride much higher than the plastic ones. The price for his steel tanks was the SAME as the cost of the low hanging plastic version. The custom steel tanks are designed to ride much higher than the plastic ones so I opted to go this way. I will let you know how things work out once they are mounted.
