Default Move Fuel door
can you move the fuel fill to the door post I know that you have to open the door to fuel up but you can fiber glass over the outside door and looks clean.

Why? Because it looks freakin awesome....that's why. Personally, I would glass over the fuel door, and move the filller inside the car. Sure, you have to pop the deck lid to fill er up, but I like the smell of gas anyway.

There is a fine line between smelling gas and sniffing it lucky.

Buddy of mine already shaved his front bumper cover and side marker reflectors when he put the big butt fenders on, he plans on shaving the gas cap and door handles next. Should be pretty nice mods. Will post pics in a few month of all that shaved stuff. rICHARD
