I drove the milano today for the first time in months. She is wearing a brand new gas cap. The first prototype is now in use. I even stopped and got some gas! Today it will sit in the sun all day. After a week or so of this I will know if it will hold up.

The cap I am using is a cosmetically challeneged one. I am still working out a few bugs in the molding process of the last part. I also have to find a better way to cut out the rubber gasket so the edges are not jagged.

I think I have enough ugly parts that are funtional to make one more complete gas cap. I will put it together and send it to a friend with a milano and have him test it. I am sure he will abuse it more than I ever could. Hopefully after this week or so of testing I will have worked out all the bugs and can send one to a vendor, and maybe even sell a couple to the public. Don't reach for your wallets yet, this thing has only been on the car for about an hour.....

I will take some pics tonight or tommorow so everyone can see it on the car.

This is so exciting!! I just hope the prototype holds up!
