trouble reaching oil cap, is there a fix?

HELLO ALL:

I've got a 1983 Z28, 305HO w/CCqjet...

I'm not very tall and have short arms and have problems with putting oil in this baby. I only have to do it at oil changes, but still it's a pain, haha.
I'm getting ready to replace the front oil seal and the water pump and wonder if they make a oil filler tube extension or something to help me out. I thought it might be nice to put aftermarket/etc... valve covers on it too, ..... do they make them with oil fill extensions??? I thought red would look good, since the car is red....

any suggestions?
thanks,
PAT

Thanks for the input!!!!!!!!

I wonder if this chrome extension will fit the aftermarket valve covers they sell? I saw some that were anodized (red) with matching timing chain cover.
