The fuel gauge I ordered to test the fuel senders finally arrived so I hooked it up to the 12 volt power supply and made all the appropriate connections...tuned it on and hurrah, the gauge registered full (I had added 15 gallons of avgas to the tank to make sure there were no leaks).
I then got the tank positioned n the wing and started making the fuel lines.
Additionally a few days ago I added wood blocks to the inside of the wing tips to give the strobes something to mount to. Used JB Weld to glue them into place.
