Can I get some info on your fuel door on the rear fender? I've been going back and forth with grafting a fuel door or using a motorcycle pop up gas cap.
I made the fuel door from flat stock, and hand formed it on a bean bag.
I couldn't find a donor fuel door shape that I liked.
Plus, I wanted the finger pull to stick in, not out like a lot of cars.

The hinge mechanism and latch are custom also.

If i did it again, I'd try harder to find a donor. It was a lot of work
for such a minor part.
