Hope everyone had a good weekend, I didn't get as much shop time as I wanted this weekend, but still got a little work done.
Pulled the fuel cell cage back out to start prepping for permanent install, first step was to weld a plate on the bottom so once it is permanently installed it will be able to be sealed from the outside. Then I wanted to drill all the holes for the lid to attached, there is no way I wanted to deal with that in the car! LOL
Marked out the bottom plate for some plug and stitch welds

All burned in and smoothed out, I'll seam seal the edges once paint/undercoating time comes around

Next up was laying out for the lid holes, I have to admit, this little tool is worth every penny!

Mark, punch, drill, then more drilling....in a holding pattern now until nutserts arrive along with the final size drill bit

Wrapped up the weekend by welding up the turns for the back of the z-pipe so the straight sections will fit nicely into the rear subframe.

Hopefully keep plugging away this week.
