Well, between my wifes dear grandma passing away and me having bilateral surgery on my legs (yes, even 42 year olds need a tune up once in a while)-- I've been delayed on the Buick.  The gas tank sealing turned out very well-- the POR15 gas tank sealing kit I used really does work.  I need to finish prepping the exterior and paint it with some more POR15.  I received in my gas tank sending unit and tar strapping from Kanters, no issues, fits great.  I tell you, what the tank setup looks like now is a FAR CRY from what I dropped out of the car last month.  More to follow.
