Managed to get the internal fuel tank cover removed tonight. Only 30 round head slot screws to cut through. My original plan was to try and reuse them. However pretty much everyone was heavily rusted in place or I was unable to get a wrench on the nuts on the back side. As for the fuel tanks, the one tank end has been blown out, I suspect during the fire. Otherwise the tanks look pretty solid. I’m hopeful it can be worked back into shape and sealed up. It’s also great to see the detail on how the fuel lines and gauge sender wiring was run.
