Field Inv package returned yesterday requesting MCO (Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin) or receipt for chassis. Understandable if the two departments aren't communicating as this package would seem quite incomplete without the other.  Explanation letter and additional process photos forwarded.

While I'm waiting on the DMV examiner...

Bought a porta-ram and un-tweeked the radiator hoop and A-pillar hoop as much as I could. Refabbed the radiator and grille mounts.

Added spreader bars


Also started on the fuel cell



Not sure how far to go with internal baffling. Figured two like the one pictured, for baffling and structure. Will be running factory style GM internal pump.

If you're not doing a "clunk" or walboro type mats, I'd suggest a cup of sorts that your return runs into to help with using the last of the tank. Some overlapping spirals or angles to catch the slosh and allow it to be picked up when at an angle.

Two baffles like that to break it into thirds seem like plenty for half-tank slosh and structure. Looks good.

GM fuel pump has built-in reservoir cup. Part store availability. Not expensive. Fuel gauge potential.

Will that survive getting banged around?

DMV delayed until end of month.

No idea if it'll survive the abuse. It is spring-loaded so it shouldn't move much. I guess I'll find out.

factory tanks have some reliefs in the bottom of the tank that those sort of lock into. if you can do something similar that would register with the bottom of the pump it ought to last juuuuust fine.

I'll tack a ring or nut on the bottom for a couple of the "feet".

That probably deserves a party.

And maybe a writeup on the whole process ;)
