Re: cardboard gas tank cover

I've never seen a good write up on this install. I personally mangled the first one I tried to put in and swore that I'd get the next one right and post it here. That one is still in the box. Guess it's up to one of you guys? haha

The last one i bought a few years ago i picked up at the truck shop. It had the marking lines and i used some flat stock on both sides to make the folds. A real PITA.
