Advice/Opinions needed

On my Vintage racer project i am considering having the petrol filler cap coming through the bonnet, which i have seen on a number of cars.

What are your thoughts, are they a pain in the a@$ with water ingress maintenance etc.

Do you think they look good on a GT/outlaw type car as this will be.

Anyone got any pics.

Thanks

Stephen

Stephen - I use a 'through the hood' centre fill cap on my 911R-inspired car :

I used a stainless steel dog bowl (yes, really!) for the rainwater/fuel overspill collector :

I can usually supply new caps/necks/separate fins (awaiting new stock of caps/necks & looking at a new fabricator for the fins) :

If the style of the above caps is of interest & I can be of help, send me a pm or email (email: lightweight_911@hotmail.com)
