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.
if you need to Hate target Laziness

Some vendors sell access door kits, but a problem you might encounter is that if the door opening and recess was not part of the original 'glass, cutting an opening might allow the body to shift and move when the sun hits it and things start to expand whereas aluminum doesnt. one takes their chances
