I was seriously looking at putting the gas door on the front side of the fender. But it definitely looking like it was going to take quite a bit of work. It would have given me a little bit more elevation of the gas neck above the gas tank. The S10 door has a slight radius in a single direction, which I was able to straighten out very easily. The radius on the '48 is going in two directions. I was planning on saving the hinge and replacing the skin and fabricate a new recess.

I'm happy with the way it came out and it was not that difficult to do. But in the fender would have definitely looked awesome.
