Here is a link for the gas cap. http://parts.factoryfive.com/newcata...ior/gascap.htm
Here is the link for the headlights.http://www.fgreggracing.com/index.asp His email is not currently working so the best thing to do if you want to communicate with the owner is to call (661) 256-2666.

Yes, yellow73sob! I saw that too and I knew that I had to have it. This way I can prove my speed by taking a photo of the speedometer. Ah..........what am I thinking? You guys will say I used a magnet or something.

How are part of the covers clear while the back is painted the same as the car, liverpool? That is the look that I prefer. Are your covers partially painted or is there and additional cover that goes on top of the lexan?

For the gas cap, get a filler neck from a C2, theyre longer and I think bolt right up. Then just weld a flange onto it. ( I made my own neck out of an aluminum tube )
I made the flange first and mounted it to the gas cap. Then put it on the car to determine the perfect alignment. Once that was done I could weld the flange onto the filler neck.
It's a little tricky since the parts you want to weld are buried, but it can be done.

My buckets look just like Pat's, I used some close-up pics he sent me and tried to make them as close as possible. I haven't done my covers yet, I ran out of good weather, will do em in the spring.
Here's a link to a diagram with dimensions on it. You should make a set out of cardboard first and test fit/modify as needed, different years will fit differently and need different shapes in front where the bumper braces are.
