For the most part, I like the mods that you guys do. But you contradict your self here. You say that you like the lines of the car then you stick a gas filler neck up and out of the body. Just my opinion, not hating here but ugh!

That's why there's no visible gas filler on my car!

The super smooth, no seams, no protrusion look that some of you like is more of a custom car look, and that's fine. Some of us like the "race car now on the street" look and I'm personally all about the endurance racers of the 50s and 60s with lots of exposed grills, vents, huge gas caps etc. Look at most British race cars (or event street cars) of that era and they all had flip top gas caps....pretty classy looking. To each his own. If you really want scary gas fillers, get a Fiat 850 coupe, I had to open the engine cover and then pump gas into the filler right over the exhaust manifold. I didn't like the filler location of my 850 spider as every time I filled the car I could smell gas for a few miles after filling.

What was used for the filler tube gasket for the Monza style cap to sit?
