Remember years ago a guy in the South Eastern Gemini Car Club put some sort of drop tank in his early model sedan. Not sure from what or how well it kept water out. He also put in another fuel filler flap in the drivers rear quater. Looked odd - on a Gemini anyway.
Don't see why you couldn't fit something between the rear rails. There's a few products on the market to help seal up any gaps where it might leak water. Would be good to remove the original tank and re-route the fuel filler neck to your drop tank, keep it looking stock outside. Good spot for a couple of 12's me thinks!
