Here&#8217;s the update on that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Could there have been a worse place to put the factory filler tube?<\/p>\n<p>The filler was relocated on my 63 Falcon Wagon before I bought it, up onto the top of the rear quarter panel. The original owner shaped a piece of sheetmetal, then threw a hinge on it with a cabinet &#8220;pop-lock&#8221; thing to keep it shut. It looked bad&#8230; lots of bondo and for some reason, the door opened &#8220;suicide&#8221; or the hinge was on the back. I was afraid it&#8217;d pop up at speed. See below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19917\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"1963 Ford Falcon Wagon - original custom filler\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/1963-ford-falcon-custom-gas-cap-1.jpg\" alt=\"1963 Falcon wagon, ford falcon, falcon gas door\" width=\"575\" height=\"380\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rather than try to fix what was there, I searched around and when I had the body work done (one of the only things the guy did well) I had this pop-up filler installed. The filler screws in, then you push and give it a quarter turn and it stays in. It&#8217;s from the Roadster Shop. Here&#8217;s a link: http:\/\/www.roadstershop.com\/1932-ford-d &#8230; up-gas-cap<\/p>\n<p>Now, all I have to do is run a passenger side chrome molding (long piece cause there&#8217;s no gas cap over there) on the driver&#8217;s side too and the gas filler was &#8220;never there&#8221;.
