Next comes framing. All the frames that were removed where well labeled so they could be put back into place. I had labeled them 1, 2, 3 and 4. The only issue was did #1 go in the back or the front. Some trial fitting figured that out. Need better labels next time. Taking the framing bolts out was a tough job because the bolt holes where the same size as the bolts requiring me to unbolt every bolt. So in returning the bolts, I drilled out the holes slightly larger so I can slide the bolts back into place. The wood will probably swell up again requiring the same procedure, but at least everything will go back together easier. Now, at least, I can get all the framing up in a day instead of the four hold per bolt it took to get them out.
This time I left all the blue tape in place until the last minute to keep any dust and dirt from getting into the tank. Once all this is back together, I plan on using my transfer pump to run all the fuel through the 2 micron filters a few times to clean anything that may have gotten into the fuel.
