Basically what I'm looking for is how to install a wing seperate from the trunk lid, so that I dont have to remove the wing to fill up the fuel cell...

Thanks

Thanks Mr P...

The problem I see is the trunk lid on the Duster actually turns down and ends just above the tail lights... Can I get away with mounting the wing to where its not attached to the trunk lid?

Mine is attached to the trunk. I don't have any problems putting gas in. Here's a rear and side view. I believe it to be made from Ed Quay.

Not gonna happen without some custom work. You have two choices. First is make the deck lid two piece, so that the wing and turn down part stay on car and front of deck lid comes off. Second is put a filler hatch in the deck lid

The filler hatch s what most go with if they cant open the
deck lid without hassles

How much support does the wing need? Since the deck lid is fiberglass and held on only by dzus fasteners, would I need to brace under the wing for the downward forces?

Size of the wing and angle of attach would dictate that... I
have just the stock deck lid but the wing mounts near the
back radius which adds strength... then I have the strut rods
going up to help carry the load

An Ed Quay wing that is trunk lid width, not full bodied is pretty simple to ad fuel. Pull the four pins that attach it to the bumper and pull the decklid. Not a lot more than you do now honestly..If it is to much work to pull those 4 tiny pins to put fuel in it then just ad an access door. Maybe just take the thing to the track and run it.....

As mentioned there are LOTS of ways around this. I put a hatch on my Duster lid because now that I am on alcohol I add fuel every round. I wouldn't have to but I do. Any car with an 8 gallon fuel cell can go rounds without fuel. My Daytona had a very small cell an even with the 572 I could go 3 (1/4 mile) passes. The new owner is putting in a bigger cell. Lots of cars have the cell up front and a small hatch to help this issue. My small tire car has the cell on the right side of the trunk and a hatch so if there was a big spoiler you didn't have to reach across it.

Edelbrock headed 408

Livin and lovin life one day at a time
