Greg made a great point without knowing it. It is so important to figure out what you want the car to do.

For example, If you want to travel with the car, you couldn't pay me enough money to put the gas tank in the trunk. Moving your stuff to fill the tank sucks, and the space it takes up is significant. There have been cases where I nearly needed to sit on the decklid to get it latched and I have done everything I could to maximize the trunk space.

On the dearborn deuce, if traditional aesthetics are important, a dearborn is not the answer. It resembles a roadster and dimensionally, they are similar, but it will never be a 32 roadster. I can pick em out a mile away. The flip side is the extra leg room and larger door opening plus windows and folding top = more comfort.

If you can, post a picture of the car you want it to look like.
