Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #15 – June 20, 2005, 08:23:24 AM Like I said I dig the fuel door, but giving it a second look I have to ask...... Are you sure that there is no way to mount it so the hinge faces forward? I ask this only because while at highway sppeds it may be possible for the wind to catch it and open it on you which may cause damage. Quote Selected
Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #16 – June 20, 2005, 08:26:38 AM As I recall, someone on these boards mounted one on in the traditional fashion. I believe it's a Mustang part that's been adapted to fit. Quote Selected

Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #21 – June 21, 2005, 11:01:49 AM Looks pretty cool, but you should turn it around so the wind doesn't rip it off when you forget to close it. Quote Selected
Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #22 – June 21, 2005, 06:15:53 PM new idea... turn it a quarter turn so it opens up, or turn it the other way. :D Quote Selected
Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #23 – June 21, 2005, 06:33:43 PM Have you tried putting gas in it yet? I looks like the magnet thing that sticks down might get in the way of the fuel nozzle. Quote Selected
Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #24 – June 21, 2005, 10:20:38 PM The fuel doors on the bird's and cats are 6 1/2" in dia., and the stang units are 6" in dia. I've thought about the swap, but don't want the 1/4" gap there. Quote Selected

Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #26 – June 22, 2005, 12:28:01 PM Nah, pro, that's what the message board software does to correct typing in all caps. IMO, it'd be better if it made it all lower case, that's at least more bearable to read. Quote Selected

Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #28 – June 22, 2005, 09:56:29 PM One thing that I did just notice that is kinda cool, I like the vette style side pipes. Not fun with shorts though, I'm sure :D Quote Selected
Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door Reply #29 – June 22, 2005, 10:12:29 PM I was thinking of side pipes at once then i looked at the local law here in toledo it has to come out after the tire unless it was bought from the factory that way. Quote Selected
