Since I decided to halt any further work on the leading edges until the lights come in, I started the fuel tanks. I also decided to go with the Float type fuel senders. I plan on running MoGas as much as possible, but I realize that is not always possible and may get stuck with AvGas. The hassle to swap back and forth isn’t worth it for me.
The first step involved cutting and shaping the stiffeners.
The next thing I had to do was cut the tank attach brackets.
Next I began inserting the ribs inside the skin, which was followed by attaching the stiffeners and the j channel. I only drilled the holes for the J Channel as well as the 2 holes in the stiffeners that didn’t line up.
I finished up the night by mounting the fuel cap. This came out really good and I think looks bad ass.
