More work on the fuel tank conversion....
I decided that I want the fuel filler door at the back of the van but because of the rear A/C and an under body cross member, accomplishing this task isn't as easy as cutting a hole for the fuel door. With the body off, it's much easier to do stuff so I notched the under body cross member so the filler tube could snake around the A/C unit and have an all downhill fill path.
Started with a hole saw
Cut both sides
With a piece of tube welded into the fresh cut, I now have clearance for the fuel filler tube. The filler tube will come out from the side of the van, turn into the "tunnel" i just made then turn again into the tank filler neck. Should be an easy bend to make for an exhaust guy. I'll have a tube made next week.
Next up is the fuel door opening. Not a lot of access to the outside panel from the back for cutting in and mounting the fuel door until I cut the interior panel out. I'm thinking of 3D printing a dimple die set the shape of the fuel door recess and attempting to form the shape into my quarter panel rather than weld one in and repaint the area.
