Nope but I reckon that'd look crap. 4 cents worth

You mean like a Jag . I think it would ruin the body lines . If I was going to do anything with it I would put it under the tail light like a 57 Chev . Haydn

fe350chev

Yeah.

I think it might draw too much attention to it but would be more unassuming in the body colour. I'm tall and want a higher filler. I think in the light is a good option I was looking at too. If anyone has seen a trim in that position pls put up the link.

Bob Ljubic's FC had a jag filler.

What is that bit called below the rear window glass? Yeah like Haydn said. It's the old racing type so that they loaded fuel in from the top. You would hardly see it from the side with it completely flat though. Reason being is I am thinking of making a tank behind the seat cos it's better for handling.

Reason why is if I end up racing it u need a filler that can take a manual tank like over the shoulder. Better that it faces up. Better on the left too.

You mean a flat flap like a mid 90's ford festiva [cable operated to pop open]]but cut and shaped to fit between the pillar ,the boot lid and the rear guard[bolted on at the hinge so can be removed for racing or a trip to get a paint colour match] . On top as much as possible so as not to ruin the body line . Haydn

I'd rather it be a ve or vf press type. Bugger the cable. See the ve is round and simple attached to door central locking. Or perhaps a small diameter boat deck type. Basically where that other pic has it. U don't see it from the side. But can top load it with track style filler.
