Greetings Fellow Vanners - Years ago I was at a van-in at the Howard County Fairgrounds in Maryland (VanStomp)and there was a beautiful light green Dodge van there that had some cool custom tricks done(I have some old photo's of this van). One item of interest was what I believe to be a gas cap from a Dodge Charger.
It was the chrome type that says "feul" on the door and is hinged, and has a spring latch. Has anyone else ever seen this trick? If so how hard is it to accomplish / what is involved? Also, any idea of a company that is currently reproducing these type of gas caps including all mounting hardware? I hate to sound like a "copy cat" but I would really like to do this to my Dodge. I would appreciate any information.

Thanks,
Joe.

Chargers and cudas had them. I put one on my Mid Ford 25 years ago. [Eek!] All I had to do was screw it on. It fit around the mouth of the fuel tank like it was made for it. I may have had to shim it a bit to make it work. [Big Grin]

By the way;

60's Cudas had them, 70's Chalengers had them, and 70's chargers had them. The ones from the Cuda's were smooth on the face and the others said FUEL on them..

Joe,
I've got one on my van. Doc is right, they screw right on. Porblem is, they're pretty pricey to get usually, b/c of all the Mopar collectors out there. If you check out stylinconcepts.com, they now make billet ones that look similar, and will probably be cheaper than trying to find an original, I think they go for $75.

Thanks everyone. Wayne, I will check out Stylinconcepts, but I am hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a supplier of a reproduction FEUL door so I could compare prices. I would kind of like to stick with parts that are Mopar or reproductions of original Mopar parts.
It is the "classic car restorer" side of me.

Thanks again,
Joe.

Dammit Joe (I can't resist [Razz] )... just in case you have one made... it's spelled F-U-E-L... I'd hate to think of you getting one made that was spelled F-E-U-L... man I'm having visions of Spinal Tap and the "amp goes to 11" scene.... Rock on Bro! [Cool]
