THIS IS MY BRIEF TUTORIAL ON HOW TO SHAVE YOUR GAS LID. I JUST RECENTLY DID THIS TO MY CAR SO ITS FRESH IN MY HEAD. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW THE CAR IS GETTING HEAVILY MODDED SO I WANTED EVERYTHING SHAVED. I PUT A BRIEF DESCRIPTION WITH EACH PICTURE SO YOU KNOW COULD EASILY FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK FIRST OFF I CUT A HOLE IN MY REAR INNER FENDER WELL SO I COULD BRING THE PIPES INTO THE TRUNK (REFER TO PICTURE 1).
PICTURE 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I NOTICED I NEEDED TO EXTEND MY PIPES BEFORE THEY WENT INTO THE TRUNK. (REFER TO PICTURE 2 & 3).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I THEN GOT THE BEND IN THE PIPES TO FLOW UPWARD TO THE GAS CAP. ONCE YOU REACH THE DESIRED ANGLE THEN I WELDED THE EXTENSION TO THE BEND.(REFER TO PICTURE 4)
PICTURE 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I HAD TO CUT THE PIPE SHORTLY AFTER THE BEND SO THAT I COULD MAKE A HOSE EXTENSION UP TO MY TRUNK JAM.(REFER TO PICTURE 5 & 6)

PICTURE 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I HAD ISSUES WITH GAS CAP HITTING ON THE TRUNK SO I SHAVED OFF THAT GOOFY RAISED BAR. (REFER TO PICTURE 7)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW COMES THE PART WHERE YOU GET TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THAT STUPID GAS DOOR OPENING.
FIRST OFF YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INSIDE MOUNTING PIECE FOR YOUR GAS DOOR. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BEHIND THE REAR QUARTER PANEL (REFER TO PICTURE 8)
PICTURE 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ONCE YOU HAVE REMOVED THE MOUNTING PIECE FOR YOUR GAS DOOR. THEN YOU MAKE A METAL PLATE TO FIT UP FROM BEHIND THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. (REFER TO PICTURE 9)
PICTURE 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BECAREFUL WHEN WELDING ON THIS INNER PLATE. BE SURE TO DO TACK WELDS DIAGONALY FROM EACH OTHER. THIS IS TO PREVENT WARPING OF THE REAR QUARTER PANEL. ONCE YOU HAVE IT ALL WELDED IN YOU THEN GRIND DOWN YOUR WELDS. AFTER THAT SPREAD SOME ALL METAL OVER THE GAS CAP. THEN I USED BODY FILLER TO GET THE REAR QUARTER PANEL FLOWING SMOOTHING TOGETHER. HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE FINISH PRODUCT
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME GUIDANCE HERE. HOPE I HELPED MOST OF YOU OUT. GOOD LUCK AND TRUST ME THIS JOB TOOK A LONG TIME TO DO CORRECTLY. ITS NOT JUST AN OVERNIGHT JOB. YOUR HARDEST TASK IN MY OPINION IS RELOCATING THE GAS PIPES.
