Default New '77: Build sheet #2

I was trying out my new borescope this afternoon and found build sheet #2 (here's a link to #1: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-than-one.html) on top of the driver's side of the fuel tank:




You can faintly see some letters/numbers through the dust on the upper right:



I puffed just the teeniest amount of compressed air in there, trying to blow off some of the dust so I could better read the sheet, but only succeeded in folding it over:


I put a "hook" shape in the borescope and was able to fish it into the void, hook the top of the sheet and gently unfold it back onto the tank.

The good news is it looks like the built sheet wants to release from the tank.

The bad news is I'm going to have to drop the tank to retrieve the sheet.

This task is now officially on my "to-do" list.
