09 Put the top back on.

This effort actually started before the final installation of the fuel tank. Fiberglass & epoxy strips had to be made up and bonded to the inside of the unit. Everything (tank, top, strips, sight gage, etc.) had to be fitted and placed to make sure the top went back on properly. The door sill had to be repaired. Upholstery had to be repaired and replaced. And, of course, there had to be some excitement in the hanger unrelated to the work.
