Brief Description:  Sealing Left Fuel Tank

Did some finish up work to get ready to start assembling and sealing the left tank. First I match drilled the "Deluxe" fuel caps to the left tank (did not do the right tank as I am waiting for a back order from Vans for the 2d fuel cap). Photo #1 shows the cap cleco'd in place, photo #2 shows me drilling the cap to the skin. Photo #3 shows the back side along with the retaining clip I fabricated that will be used to keep the fuel vent line up out of the fuel (just a small sample piece of tubing in there for now). See next couple of entries for more on todays effort.
