Fuel filler

My custom fuel tank was supplied by Universal Products, where I got my body from. It had a nice looking 110mm cap, but was flush with the tank, much like original speedsters.

I’m not crazy about the idea of opening the frunk for refueling. Refuelling your own car is illegal in this country, which means a stranger will be manoeuvering a fuel nozzle around the inside of my car. Also center filler necks look bad ass and are all the rage! So I got my welding guy to lengthen the neck.

Some careful measuring and voila!

The hole in the hood leaves an obvious problem. Water and spilled fuel will end up in places it shouldn’t be. Enter the dog bowl. Literally. Flipped upside it works perfectly! Added a drain, a clamp and some rubber and I’m done.
