Title: fuel door
Post by: ss4 on December 18, 2013, 11:46:10 AM

Okay so here is my next stumbling block.  Looking for examples on adding a fuel door on the fiberglass body.  Just want to see some trick thoughts on having it blend into the body.  or a trick way of putting fuel in with out removing the body.
