Not for everyone.. but relocated fuel door
#11
I hate to go with the crowd but I am not a big fan of the door. I think a flush mounted one would be better but I have to say it is your car and you like it then who cares what everyone else says. It is a nice job. What did you do with the hole where the original filler tube is at? Show some picks of your tubing in the trunk. I was thinking of relocating mine as well but I may try to hide it behind the end cap.

Umm...no...just...noooo. The cap looks like some odd growth on the side of the car, and the kill switch looks like a wind-up key on a toy, since it sticks out that far. Plus, you can only park one way at a gas station now.
Well...whatever cranks your shaft, dude. It's your car...

Though it doesn't quite look right, I like the idea for functionality. Looks could be fixed with maybe a set in billet fuel door from the new Mustangs perhaps, aesthetically it could be fixed later. But I like it for 2 big reasons.
Firstly, those of us in California know what I'm talking about, but it can be a HUGE pain in the *** to fuel the car with the original fuel location with these new stiff rubber necked fuel pumps. Many of them don't fit right and gasoline spills all over the damn place when you try to gas up because you can't get the nozzle down inside the fill neck. There's only a couple of gas stations I'll fuel at specifically because the nozzles are the only ones that fit correctly, because they have longer nozzles. So putting in a newer fuel fill neck from a new car can certainly alleviate that problem.
And secondly, it does allow for a clean safety shut off switch installation, which is required per NHRA if you have a battery relocation.

I'm gonna have to go with everyone else too. Did you do this for a guy or for your own ride? I would have laughed the guy out of the shop. I'm sorry but it looks terrible and ruins the flow of the car (I think). Maybe if it was inset and was like a regular fuel door like on most cars. Not the fake rivet round door look. That way it isn't noticeable untill you're up on the car. Bad idea.
