it would work just fine i seen a guy actually selling them like that at and expo i wish i would of took pictures to show you now that i think about it but it was done really simple it had a small section at the bottom that was riveted into the plastic and that one had 2 rows of drilled holes then a bigger piece up top connected by hinges and a latch at the top to hold it together it was actually a really good idea i just didn't feel like paying him an arm and leg for exactly what it was just a tank on its side with a custom lid
