Next time...the tank may be a centerfill...but not through the hood. It would be so much easier to open the hood to fill the tank. Although everything was fitted before the paint (I realize I have never said this before) it never seams to be fitted correctly afterwards. I have treated the bottom of the tank and applied the new body sealer

I installed the tank for the first of 15 attempts to get everything to line up

The neck needed to be shortened

final fit before tacking

First couple of tack welds

Welding likes to warp steel...need to fit the tank again for clearance

Fit is still good...time to weld the bead
