There was one or two done in the builds threads, Can't remember who's build though. So, you might be able to look through a few of them.

Re: who has put a gas filler door.....

Heres what I did, start on page 9 post number 212 and read on. I cut the piece out of a 90 Chevy truck. With the hieght of the fill verses the tank hieght its a slow fill up, but it looks cool and I got time, lol.
