[Boss 5.0]

I have had everything on this car fitted up a couple times so that after paint I know it will all just bolt together as it should. Here is one more time of that, the taillights and the fuel filler I found.






The fuel filler was another issue for me. I really wanted something more cool than a regular gas cap, but the raised area on this rear tail pan was just over 4" across. It didn't leave me with many options. As a life long hot rodder I pay attention to the street rod market and was fortunate enough that Alan Johnson had designed and was selling his Timeless Tradiational line of hot rod parts. This flip top fuel filler is part of that line. It is exactly the size I needed, and the quality is second to none. Investment cast and show polished stainless steel, it is a thing of beauty.





While looking at the rest of the car I knew I couldn't leave the rear pan stock. So on the lift I started to play with some ideas I have seen here on Lat-G. I made cut outs for the exhaust tips and created the indented/beveled reveal that will surround the area. While at it I welded and molded the pan onto the car for a cleaner look.
