Buc,
On a project of this scale, I am impressed with your progress…
I would have one possible suggestion. and I would like others to chime in if I am not thinking clearly.
I would surmise to NOT tighten the crimps on the tank, but let the solder do its job. My thought process is that if you tighten the crimps, you will struggle removing the panels should that ever need done.
Remember, YOU may not need to but the future owner may need to, and in my mind the solder will seal that tank as intended, and allow for work on the tank if necessary.
Fabulous job…
Respectfully
