For those of you that have relocated your gas filler behind the tail light what kind of hinge did you use? Can you please tell me the excat name of it? i went in search of one and i couldn't find on that looked like it would work and the people at the stores looked at me liek i was crazy or laughed

best i could find.

btw, u dont have to use the exact hinge.. just go to home depot or something and look around on things that might work.. Take some measurements from the tails and the 1/4 panel in with u so u have some references..

I would say go to a hardware store and ask for "concealed hinges" like these

Is there a how-to on this mod. Trying to do all my exterior work on the car and would like to try this. Will be doing it with aftermarket lights though.
