They are metal arent they, so I could polish them?I think it would be a very cool idea and planned to do it on my 06 a few years ago. The issues I ran in to were these:
Old gas caps are much smaller in diameter than the faux cap on the back of our cars.
The faux gas caps are very thin, where the old gas caps are an inch plus thick (not including the center section with the teeth to lock the cap on the car.
I was planning on using a 1969 gas cap which is even bigger than the earlier models and it was about an inch and a half shorter (top to bottom) than the faux cap.
What to do with the key hole that is now exposed?
I think it would be really cool back there and would be very original, I didn't have the tools to do it right so left it alone.
They are metal arent they, so I could polish them?
The way I see it, it could just be a matter of fitment, shaving the back end and going with some 3M or sealant on the back. I haven't gotten hands on yet so a lot of this is speculation
Those must be the signatures of the two guys that spunked in the jar for him...




The 60's gas caps are a chromed pot metal with steel (I assume) fitting on the inside for where the cap screws in to the fill tube. The pic below is the backside of the 69/70 gas cap. Basically it is hollow except for the center where it attaches to the fill tank. It would need to be filled and 3M taped to the deck lid. I considered cutting mine so it was only half as thick but still would have had to fill it and tape it.
