I just have a quick question about this little mod. What I wanna do is get the Streetfire kit, lose the "wing" and spray it OE black. I have see a few people with the trunk mounted gas inlet and I wanna do it myself, well... not myself but with professionals. About how much did it cost and was it a long project. Sorry I'm not a body-guy. Here's some pics of what I am talking about...

As most of you know the car is getting heavily modded So I wanted everything shaved. I put a brief description with each picture so you know could easily figure out whats going on.


Ok first off I Cut a hole in my rear inner fender well so I could bring the pipes into the trunk (Refer to Picture 1).

Picture 1



I noticed I needed to extend my pipes before they went into the trunk. (Refer to Picture 2 & 3).

I then got the bend in the pipes to flow upward to the gas cap. Once you reach the desired angle then i welded the extension to the bend.(refer to picture 4)

Picture 4


I had to cut the pipe shortly after the bend so that I could make a hose extension up to my trunk jam.(Refer to picture 5 & 6)

Picture 6


I had issues with gas cap hitting on the trunk so i shaved off that goofy raised bar. (refer to picture 7)

Now comes the part where you get to actually remove that stupid gas door opening.

First off you have to remove the inside mounting piece for your gas door. This is located just behind the rear quarter panel (refer to picture 8)

Picture 8


Once you have removed the mounting piece for your gas door. Then you make a metal plate to fit up from behind the rear quarter panel. (refer to picture 9)

Becareful when welding on this inner plate. Be sure to do tack welds diagonaly from each other. This is to prevent warping of the rear quarter panel. Once you have it all welded in you then grind down your welds. After that spread some all metal over the gas cap. Then i used body filler to get the rear quarter panel flowing smoothing together. Here is a picture of the finish product




Sorry for the long post but I know most of you are looking for some guidance here. Hope i helped most of you out. Good luck and Trust me this Job took a long time to do correctly. Its not just an overnight job. Your hardest task in my opinion is relocating the gas pipes.

Thanks,

Derrick Hudson

That first pic is mine... and it cost me about $10 all you need to find is some 2" diameter fuel line and an extension tube for your vent pipe...
Other materials needed is....

Hole saw (variable sizes)
Waterproof silicone
Various hose clamps

I used all my original equipment when I did this...
Other than that I basically did everything that "TwiZtiD CaVy" did in his tutorial once you get into the job you'll figure it out... very simple!

i've seen the one behind the taillight before but i still like under the trunk the most.

that looks pretty hot......

i prefer the taillight

just found this on domain. looks good.

$$ 10... HOLY @!#$... I am so psyched now... Thanks guys that was the best!!

where did you extend the vent pipe to in the pics?

??

only probably i see is that you have to always open ur trunk to fill with gas. Behind the taillight tho seems kool tho alot of work

anyone happen to know a place to get the 2" fuel line and something for the vent line at? just wanderin before i drive all over town lookin tomorrow morning


Thanks

Looks good but is a lot of work. Don't attempt this if you do not know what you are doing.

for the tube i did it on a buddys car and i just went to menards and bought clear tube and used it he has had it for at least over six months now and no problems

of and it isnt that much for just be careful not to drop anything down into the gas tank

I like my 79' grand prix. Fuel fill was behind the rear license plate, you pulled it down and then filled it up.

same with my 83 Cutlass and Sedan Deville.

Didn't have to worry about which side of the pump to pull up to.
