So I'm progressing, chassis / frame pads are in and fuel system is finished. Didn't search to see if this has been addressed before however with the 1/4" frame/chassis isolators falling out there is a lot of pressure on your tank fittings as well as a significant restriction for your fuel hoses. I was replacing all my fuel hoses when I decided the rear tank vent hose should be about 1/2" shorter. Pulling the hose back off the vent barb pulled the tube out of the tank. I would have to say the aluminum sheet and insulation pressing on the fitting broke the solder joint. All fixed now but one of those things you don't need to run into when you are trying to get some results. Better than
Finding about it when it's all back together but I have enough to do.
