                      nice, what did you take the gas door out of? I have been looking for something that will fit, every thing I find has to much curve in it.

                        It's off an 82 pick up. I used the original fill neck and cap inside the door. I had to cut and re-weld to get the proper angle on the filler neck. I would suggest having an extra one on hand just in case. The filler neck attaches to the rubber insert inside the door. Benefit , if you overfill it runs down on the inside instead of over the paint. I like this style because it doesnt have the bump out on the flip door.

                        There was a lot of rust in that area so it doubled as a patch.

                            Good looking work being done.
                            I used the fuel door and a section of 1/4 panel from an S10 in the "Beast".
                            Those new lower rocker sections look pretty sweet..
                            Is there a color in mind yet ?

                            looks like she was born Ohmaha Orange...
