Topic: gas tank flange

[preaction]

Was the gas tank flange, beginning of the gas neck on the out side of the car, installed and painted with the car ? For a 67 built in Dearborn.

  Where would the idea it might have been painted come from? No tank, no filler pipe at time of painting of any classic Mustang I am ever aware of.

No. There was nothing attached to the body except the trunk lid and front doors (with attaching hardware). The front fenders were painted elsewhere. Think "assembly line".

This idea very easily comes from my experience from seeing non concours restored cars where the filler neck wasn't removed for painting for any number of reasons. Know I know better thanks, Paul.

As well as end caps - loosely installed , rear bumper guard (if so equipped) brackets and rear valance (number and type of hardware depends on plant and time period).
There are a couple of additional parts depending on plant, year and time period.

But back to the PO question +1  no gas tank, filler neck or wiring in the car though you will surely see plenty of repaints with painted tanks, necks and flanges
