June, 2010: Today we tackled the install of the gas tank filler port. Of course, like anything else, you can't just "install" it, you have to measure twice, cut once (sometimes measure and cut again) until you get it just right. The top of the opening to the tank needed to be shaved down and the bottom of the filler port needed to be cut down as well, along with the rubber tubing and re-drilling the hole for the filler cap safety chain. All in all a good morning's work, with some supervision by Mom.
Dad measuring for the hole to be cut into the wood bed.
Checking for clearance and figuring outhow much needs to be cut off the filler port and tank opening.

Hmmm, that looks difficult... You sure you have that hole right Dad?
What you doing Sherm? Are you ready to go yet?
