Never pulled it off, but for some reason I think there are two torx or phillips screws holding the black plastic shield around the inside, and maybe there are bolts for the hinge under that?

riveted is not what I wanted to hear I guess I will have to get up in there and figure it out.

the gas tank door on these cars is a major PIA, you will need to drill the rivets and you can out in new rivots or srews, i just used screws.

I drilled out the rivets with a 1/2 drill bit-it came right out. I think putting it back in with screws will be the easiest.

Hi, Steve. I see your back on the board!!! Welcome back. Do you miss the convertible? If you are removing a gas door from an F-Body, you must have another one!!!!!!!!!
