Creative places for large fuel tank on back halved FB's?

Just bought a 79 chassis with a 4 link. Current fuel cell is 3 gallons and in the nose. I'd like to convert this to a street legal setup looking for a 10-12gal fuel cell minimum. Anyone have suggestions/pictures?

Thanks!

Directly behind the rear axle would be one way of doing it. It looks like you have appropriately placed frame rails to hang a fuel cell, you would just have to keep it between the wheelie bar railing. You would see it clearly in that second shot of yours if you had it there, in fact I think it would look good, especially with The lines visible.

I have a 10g aluminum cell directly in the rear hatch, i built a full firewall up to the rear glass and sealed it with rubber per NHRA rule book. I can see out the rear view mirror but it's limited. I don't drive on the street.
