‘25 Roadster gas tank area

Is the area under the gas tank on a ‘25 Roadster supposed to be open or closed.

I would say "under" is open.
The neat thing about the 25 is a tool tray filling the gap between the back of the gas tank to under the seat.
I have seen pix posted on this forum of it.

‘Open’.....when laying on the ground you should see the entire length of the gas tank.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people 🤪

Thanks. Someone closed it in with galvanized sheet metal. Can’t get a wrench on the top of the sediment bulb so will need to use a pipe wrench.
