Yeah, it is a pretty sharp color. We pearlized the teal and the silver is Titanium with House of Kolor silver miniflake.
As for the gas door, shwew, where to begin... first off, I stitch welded in a patch panel into the quarter panel after removing the OEM door. Then I laid short strand kitty hair body filler on to get the shape and finished it off with a little glazing compound blocked down to the contour of the the 1/4. Then I cut a hole in the sail panel and molded the recessed area where the fuel cap would sit. I also had to cut a 2" hole in the body metal to route the filer neck. I then cut the filler neck in half, pulled off the rubber hose from the top of the neck, and spliced in a piece of fuel approved hose that was routed down a section of 1 3/4" DOM (Drawn over mandrel) tubing and welded everything in place (verrrrry carefully!). Finally, after riveting the OEM fuel filler outlet into the sail panel, I bolted the door on. A TON of work involved, and to tell the truth I would not do it again if I had to, but it was worth it this one time, as she really likes it. By the way, inside the Shelby cap sits a Permacap (spring loaded opening) so that she never has to remove it to refuel, just open the stainless cap and insert the pump.
