Got some work done on the cap installation. Scary day as it was time to cut the hole in a perfectly good Getty GT type hood. No going back now

I made a 1/2'' spacer to set it up high enough to go through the hood, but not set to high.
I also removed the original cap flanges from the neck, and that allowed for the setting of the new fuel neck.
I found that the neck from a 67-72 Ford F-series pickup will slide right into the 914 neck very snuggly.
Then I went to the auto parts store and got a STANT locking gas cap to fit the new receiver.

It all fits under the 110mm Blau cap with no clearance issues.

The hardest part today was cringing when I took a jigsaw to my Getty GT hood.
Scared to death I'd ruin it, but it turned out okay.
After the initial hole was cut, I printed out a hole template, taped it to the hood, and slowly opened up the with my Dremel. I used the barrel sander attachment to get the hole just right w/out ruining the paint. I finished off the hole with a piece of rubber edging to smooth the look.
Next up is welding up the receiver, and lasering out the bat handle for the cap.
