Final fitting the fuel pump cover - 2 hours

Managed another quick build session tonight. I need to complete the sides of the fuel pump cover. I clamped the assembly to the table and then began marking and drilling the remaining rivet holes. The top of the cover needs to be parallel with the bottom of the flange. The forward end of the cover is basically set...as long as the front is vertical. The assembly is clamped into place and I can then start drilling rivet holes.


Once that was done, I can then trim down the sides to fit the top of the cover. All I need to do now is final fitting and drill to the center tunnel cover. This is easy to do as I still have all of my reference lines in place. I started from the rear and moved forward. Drilling all holes, 3/32" first, 1/8" and then #19 last.
