Has anyone has installed a Mustang / F150 billet fuel door in the front hood to acess the gas filler cap without opening the hood? What needs to be done to get the rim to sit almost flush with the hood? If you just cut a hole is will sit a good 1/4" above the hood.

If you end up with some rock chips and have the hood repainted I would come down and hammer a step or flange in the hood sheet metal for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) This would allow a close to flush fit. You could try a flanging tool but the step would be only about 22 GA deep.
You can hand hammer a step pretty deep if you work at it. Attached image(s)
