In this video, we started work on the first fuel tank. Enjoy!
Here is a link to the closed end rivets I used to seal the tooling holes:
amzn.to/45Bzzqm (I earn a small commission when purchased through the link). They come with 50 rivets, not 100 like I thought.
Links to syringes (again, small commission earned with purchased through link):
60ML (used most) - amzn.to/3N7JLj8
100ML (great for back baffle) - amzn.to/3WKnlYA
