#1 looks most original to me

Number 3 would be cool, I like the aggressiveness. But if your keeping it original in every other way i'd personally go with number 1 or 2 to keep that look. Plus they look like they'll wear better than the third one, not sure if thats a factor for you.

I would have never thought a gas cap would be so hard to find... Wtf... Finally found a decent fit. Not perfect but it'll work

This made me think of Adam Sandler's "ode to my car" song.

"Fucking rag for a gas cap."

Is it an FC specific or is it the same as the CJ's of that era?

By the book it's the same as a dozen or so vehicles. However none of those actually work. The Fc170 has a slightly larger cap.

Worse comes to worse, you could probably replace the filler tube with a generic aftermarket one.

That sucks. I'm always looking for stuff around here so if I see something I'll let you know.

Thanks, if not I'm sending this one back to Ohio for a couple months to get rusted up!

Chris, not sure if you are still helping out at the "Fullerton" location, but if you are take a look at the fuel cap used on the two race cars (although the unlimited car may be in moab??) They are not locking caps, but seem to be fairly large. Just a though :idontknow:

Also, I was digging through some old photos and noticed the original seats used in some of my old VW Bugs might be an option for you to run in the FC. Not a perfect match, but they are low back buckets.....

Thanks, I think they are a bit larger, but I'll check it out..



Back a couple pages, I bought a set of factory FC seats, thanks for the idea though ! Just need little TLC...

See you in NorCal btw.

.......See you in NorCal btw.

I will be missing the event in NorCal. Work is calling, and I am rolling overseas once I get the approval to book my flights. Just a quick 60 day trip

Maybe they don't even know he's there until they notice the bodies laying around
