FUEL DOOR OFF DANBURY MINT

Does anyone know the best way to properly re-attach the fuel door off a D.M. Studebaker. I just got my hands on a beautiful 55 President's Speedster in the mail and the fuel door was off the car and whitewall off . I have no idea how to re-attach the fuel door so it functions and not fall off every timephoto no longer available

I can help

Hi Gary. I had this same thing happen recently, and it was very easy to fix, but it's a little hard to describe, and will take a few paragraphs. I just signed up here, so if I can figure out how to connect with you directly, I can email you instructions.

I also need a copy of your email to re-attach the fuel door on my 1955 Studebaker Speedster.

Thanks, Chav! And to Ryan, John, etc.

I'm planning to email Gary with some ideas today or tonight. John, I will also cc you on that, and Ryan, I'll copy and paste what I come up with here, once I do. I may try to include some pictures, as I have one that is currently off the car too, so I'll see what I can do about fixing mine, while advising Gary, and everyone. If I can do that, I'll include the pictures also.

Best,
Rich
