I am restoring a 73 Challenger that has had the trunk replaced. The one thing that the new trunk does not have is the cut-out for the gas filler tube through the trunk floor. I will need to cut a hole for this, but does anyone have the measurements for placement/size,etc for cutting this? I would like to cut it before I install the new gas tank.

Thanks for any info or advise...

Challenger and barracuda are different. The picture from cuda john looks like the vent stand pipe opening.
Someone needs give you the challenger filler tube dimensions, and i cannot. I'm mr cuda, not mr challenger.

Flip gasket over make a templet to use for cut out. Use the mat to locate filler tube gasket mark the hole through the gasket.

Tapes read 1 1/8"x5 1/2" when held in place.

I hadn't thought of using the mat to make a template. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones overlooked. The pictures and measurements help too.

Thanks, Guys...
