Fantastic! I really like the fuel fill location, but what about venting? Does that cap not vent?

Its a 4" ATL cap it is non venting. We will vent the tube inline and run a large tank vent to get it to fill well with a California fuel fill nozzle. They suck so bad.

I absolutely hate pumping gas on a muscle car that wont hold the nozzle itself while it pumps. So we did this. I'm way to tall to neal down and pump the gas behind the license plate of a muscle car for 10 minutes. This car is meant to haul ass and be fun and easy to drive. Yes it has some race parts but that will just make it fun to drive faster. We plan to put some cup holders and some other stuff to make it user friendly.

Kind of what pro-touring used to be.

Well said and very nice build.
