With all the suspension and steering components installed I decided to do an alignment. So I put the wheels on it and go it set to 4" ride height. I did the rear first and then the front. It was A LOT of, measure, jacking it up, making an adjustment, set it back down. I feel like I've got it pretty close now. I did realize that I don't have the steering rack centered meaning that it's about 2.5 turns to full left and about 3 turns to full right. I'll have to make more adjustments, but I'll wait until after the engine is installed.

Fuel Tank Assembly/Install
Next came assembling and installing the fuel tank.
Assembling the tank wasn't too much trouble, but getting the assembled tank mounted was a bit of a challenge.
The fuel filler tube was just hitting the frame when it was fully seated. After reading what others had done on ffcars.com forum I decided to just bend the tube slightly for clearance. I've got it clearing the frame now, but I won't truly know until the body is mounted and the filler hose is attached how much clearance there is.
