I did try a Fat 50 can but it would not fit. However if you moved oil bath breather to the drivers fender where the later horns mount by the radiator (on the later CJ2As), there would be a huge space for a huge lockable storage can. The 24 volt Hotchkiss M201 WW2 Jeeps had the oil bath breather mounted on the drivers fender to accommodate the second battery in the place the storage cans are shown.

Under the Hood Lockable Storage Box = Did some moving of things around under the hood. The ammo can in this picture is 11" x 5/12" x 16" (LxWxH) 60mm Motar Can.
The Mortar can fit great! Will need to draw up / make some brackets for the Air cleaner and the can, move the horn to the fire wall like the 1946 had and move the starting solenoid to the fire wall. But it fits and the 60mm Mortar Can will get a hasp for a lock. Edit / addition - Mark note the fenders are still available to be used as work surfaces in case someone wants to steal anything under the hood. Note the wrenches in the photo on the fenders.

Based on my previous experiences trying to find places to hide stuff in soft/bikini top CJ5s, my "dream restomod" flatfender would have the dash panel from a M-38 in it for the glove box and the removable gauge panel (in case I need to work on some gauges or need better access to behind the panel). I've also kicked around the idea of wheel house tool boxes ala MB/GPW. All lockable. I do like the idea of locking down the passenger seat to keep the stock tool box from being opened. I've done the lockable ammo box between the seats, but never thought to put one under the hood. Another idea I've been kicking about is some kind of storage compartment under the cargo area that could be accessed from inside the Jeep. Maybe putting it under a flip n fold type rear seat.
I had to laugh when I read about the holster with brass scattered in the floorboards. I used to keep a holster strapped to the roll bar in one of the 5s for a Ruger 22 auto pistol. And there was always 22 brass scattered around in the Jeep from my running through the woods in it. The holster stayed in the Jeep, but the pistol only when not going to town.
