Dave - I am following your console work closely, really like the direction it's going.

Relating to your first couple of pictures. It looks like the flange of your fuel tank is flush to the frame members on either end (which appears to be the correct way). Can you confirm this please? My tank sits about 1/4" off the perimeter frame members. I have been reluctant to really reef down on the two flange bolts to try and snug it up as they are pretty tight now.

I don't really see any conflicts between the tank and any fixed objects so I had somewhat resigned myself this was the way the tank fits until I looked closely at your photos.
