Starting right fuel tank
I brought up the new tank skin, did some measuring to see how parrallel the edges were cut. (Within a 1/32").
Unfortunately the vendor didn't do what I asked by puttin vinyl coating on both sides and one side is pretty scratched up. I called to complain but they said tough shit. He didn't recall that I asked for that and it wasn't on the order. I filed a complaint with the KC BBB. For the record, don't do business the Gieske Sheet Metal in Kansas City Missouri. Bad customer service. This all happened about 6 weeks ago. I was so infuriated for about 3 days I couldn't see straight. Sandi will tell you that it takes a LOT to get me mad but when I do.... I'm pure hell to deal with.
Anyway... I positioned the stock tank skin on the new skin for match drilling. I will start that on Thursday.
