On these fuel door kits, the surface sheet metal is tack welded to the box. It would be easy enough to remove the surface metal and mold the box to the underside of your fender and cut a hole in the fiberglas to use the metal fuel door. It would be small and match the contour of your fender, has a spring-loaded magnetic catch and should work fine. I installed one on my '37 fender (steel) but I welded it in. Just exploring options....

Thanks Randy. I thought about using steel but was concerned with the shrink and expansion rates between the two, worried it could crack over time? I've got a ford dually fender I'm going to hack one out of and see if it'll even remotely fit. I'm guessing it won't because the fuel door is flat and I'm thinking the fender has a curve to it right there.
