Time Requirement: 90 minutes
Date Started: August 24, 2012

I started the preliminary fit for the Corvette fuel tanks. These mount behind the seats and ahead of the fuel tank finish panels. I figured out how things fit together and wondered a bit about the lines coming off the bottom of the tanks. About this point I noticed the tunnel panels would be impossible to install after the tanks are mounted.
Driver's side rear tunnel aluminum. I performed a light test looking for leaks in the seams. I found a couple of places were air can get through. I used my seam sealer and a spreader to close up gaps along the bottom of the pamels where there is no overlap. |
Passenger side rear tunnel panels riveted into place.. I can still access the tunnel from above and below the tunnel. |
Driver's side installed. When the fuel tanks are mounted, all the rivet lines are hidden by the fuel tank. |
