That's what I'm doing, and it'll look pretty good with some SS parts. But down the road, I hope to find a fender. It was a factory option, but I believe it to be a "rare" one for these years. I have had no trouble finding the older fender, but it's not for me. maybe I'll post some pics of what I've done, in case anyone is interested. The Pass. side fill neck has been drilled out, and chromed, and SS button heads were used to remount, and would like to do the same on the drivers side. I have NOS fill hoses, for the right, but will need to cut, a fab it to work on the drivers side, also a drivers fill neck, is just as hard to find. I've hit every scrap yard, all used part dealers, and everything in between.
