'57 Continental kit

[brad54]

I've got a couple of questions regarding this, mainly, how did it work with the rear bumper-mounted gas filler door? Traditionally with the old cars, the rear bumper was moved out from the back of the car, and a filler panel installed that housed the tire mount. How'd this work with the '57? Were they even available for Buicks in '57?<BR>I'm trying to plan one for the back of my '54. I really want to get rid of the quarter panel gas filler door, so the '57 set up seems like a good idea (I know I'll need the tank and probably rear frame member), but I also want to put on continental kit on the car (and extend the quarter panels out a few inches to hide it on a profile).<BR>Any verbal explanation of how it worked, or better yet a faxed diagram, would be greatly appreciated.<BR>Thanks,<BR>-Brad<BR>(fax #: 863-858-0701)
