Steering/turn signal cam stuff done (that was ~6 hours of "therapy"

Great point on cleco for the panels - I'll get after that. I'll do that and the gauges. I'll begin reading more about the body prep, particular the perimeter stuff and lights.
Any reason to not get after Dynamat-type installation for the interior? I don't have it yet but Summit usually delivers next day.
Yeah, I guess you could start laying down insulation. Personally, I prefer to have all the panels in place and I've mainly used Lizard Skin in the past. Not sure yet what I'm doing to use on my Mk5.

I'm going to try to loosen the tank straps and see if that gives me enough.
Mine was tight too. FF didn't waste any space there. But I didn't have any interference. You did put the little plastic caps on the downtubes for the tank, right? Also, are you putting the box on top of the trunk floor or underneath? There have been suggestions to put the box underneath the floor (which I didn't do) but maybe that would be enough to cause interference.
