72 gas door opening lip
Can someone post a picture of an undamaged gas door opening lip in the area that covers the gas door hinge?
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. I assume I'm just missing a corner.
Dad looked at 4 rear clips he had and none of them had anything there.

Out of curiosity, Alan, do you know of a difference in that little lip/ tab from 68-72? Something that coincided with a different gas door hinge?

Hi B,
I know there's quite a difference in the latch on the earlier cars…. I don't know if they require a different configuration in the fiberglass opening in the deck or not?
Regards,
Alan
