calm down. It is just a caps lock. The fuel cap looks okay. It is a cool mod. Why bash him for using the caps lock. It looks sweet and you are jelous so you are gonna find anything that you can.

Like I said I dig the fuel door, but giving it a second look I have to ask...... Are you sure that there is no way to mount it so the hinge faces forward?  I ask this only because while at highway sppeds it may be possible for the wind to catch it and open it on you which may cause damage.

Post by: Ifixyawata on June 20, 2005, 08:26:38 AM
As I recall, someone on these boards mounted one on in the traditional fashion.  I believe it's a Mustang part that's been adapted to fit.

Caps lock is a button on your keyboard.
Nice job with the fuel door - looks great on a white '88 XR7.

Well It Has A Big Magnet That Holds It .you Half To Push It In To Open It  .two Reasons I Monted It This Way.first I Would Need To Cut The  Body .to Mount It Correctly  ..didnt Want To Do That.also It Would Be Hard To Pump Gas With The Magnet In The Way+mounting Backwards Is Different So I Did That. The Only Thing In Did Was Drill Mounting Holes And Get Longer Bolts .+ I Had To Bend The Hole A Litle .but The Cap Is Off A F-150.

Looks pretty cool, but you should turn it around so the wind doesn't rip it off when you forget to close it.
Title: Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door
Post by: 88turbo on June 21, 2005, 06:15:53 PM
new idea...  turn it a quarter turn so it opens up, or turn it the other way.  :D

Have you tried putting gas in it yet?  I looks like the magnet thing that sticks down might get in the way of the fuel nozzle.

The fuel doors on the bird's and cats are 6 1/2" in dia., and the stang units are 6" in dia.  I've thought about the swap, but don't want the 1/4" gap there.

If you're gonna do that, I think its better if ya put the CAPS LOCK BACK ON. :hick:

Nah, pro, that's what the message board software does to correct typing in all caps.  IMO, it'd be better if it made it all lower case, that's at least more bearable to read.

Screwy.  Stupid software.

One thing that I did just notice that is kinda cool, I like the vette style side pipes. Not fun with shorts though, I'm sure :D
Title: Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door
Post by: 20th anny 5.o on June 22, 2005, 10:12:29 PM
I was thinking of side pipes at once then i looked at the local law here in toledo it has to come out after the tire unless it was bought from the factory that way.
Title: Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door
Post by: CougarSE on June 23, 2005, 12:54:31 AM
For some reason I don't think they would ever know.  Or care.
Title: Re: A One Off Custom Fuel Door
Post by: 87 3.8 CAT on June 23, 2005, 01:39:54 AM
I also like the side pipes. They disappeared for several years, couldn't see or find them anywhere. I never thought about it until recently when I consiodered it, but the laws are different here than 20 years ago and we can't run them either. BUMMER !!!!

What are your side pipes off of?  Don't know if I'de do that to mine, (love the looks of duals out the back too much)  but it is a nice touch. 

Be the way, don't let all the whiner's get to you.  There are always seems to be a few here that find anything to bitch about, be it your car, or the way you type.  (which caps are annoying by the way, but to each there own I say.)

Post by: Ifixyawata on August 01, 2005, 03:14:36 AM
Hey, at least this guy spell's good.  Usually all caps is accompanied by shiznitty spelling, so, it isn't all that bad I guess.
