Question Fuel Door!?!?

Anybody know of a kit to put a smooth fuel door on and install a switch to pop it open? I could probably yank the opener off a car in the salvage yard, but I have no idea of where to get the fuel door.

No, I just want the fender to be smooth. It'll look better IMO.

Nobody's done this? I don't want billet on it either. It looks like blemish on a good paint job to me.

If you find one billet, just paint it. Waste of the extra money you'll probably spend for it being billet, but it's something.

I thought about that. I've also thought about trying to grind and blend a stock one.

That'd be cool too, but that might be a little hard to open unless you get one of those latches for panels where you push the door in a little, and then it releases the door... I don't know the name of it and I can't think of what the "latch" is called so hope that makes sense...

I wanted to get a switch to open it from the inside of the car. I figure with so many cars having electric openers, I should be able to find one that would be easy to modify for my car. Mounting it would be the only issue. I haven't started looking though, because I'm hoping someone knows of a kit.

i'm sure someone makes a fiberglass one, or you could find one off a corvette and wire it up.
