Does anyone have a procedure for:
Installing a new wing tank in a wing that never had one
Replacing an existing wing tank.
 
Thanks,

I encountered a variety of winds and turbulence yesterday.  A couple of guys in a Searey and I left early in the morning for Cedar Key FL from Clermont.  Shortly after reaching cruise we picked up some tail winds.  Tail winds that turned into 20-25 MPH tailwinds.  Got us there pretty fast.
The runway at Cedar Key is situated on a small strip of land off the coast, tall trees and buildings lining either side.   The winds were straight across the runway from the right.  My first time in rotors I could really feel.  I left like a maple leaf on its way to the ground.  Fortunately we've had a fair amount of windy weather lately and I've been out practicing in it.  Landing was without incident though I was not interested in having a cup of coffee aftwards (Video of landing attached below).
A high level of security is maintained at this airport featuring a 4' high fence surround complete with cipher lock gate (shown below).  Yes, the combination is 523 and the sign is printed on both sides in case anyone gets locked out.  I think the wording of the sign is designed to throw off non-pilot types, as it almost threw me off but I was cunning enough to try the three numbers at the bottom of the sign on the lock.
Because of the now steady headwinds, neither plane had what any of us considered to be enough fuel to get back.  While walking down the road toward "town" discussing our predicament an old man and his dog pulled up in a bright yellow '32 Bugatti open cab, powered by a VW engine in need of rings.  Thick Maine accent, he looked and sounded like he could have been one of the Kennedys.  He was a pilot too. He offered to help us out.  He came back in his truck, we loaded up and he gave us a tour of the entire island, stopping off at his residence to grab another 5g gas can, then off to the filling station.
The filling station was a comical affair consisting of barefoot locals with purpose built boats, livestock, dead fish, and pilots in need of fuel.  Oddly, out here on a tiny island, at a filling station that wouldn't be out of place in mexico, they had an ethanol free blue pump!
Flying back inland is where the real fun began.  Well, for me it was anything but fun.  My little plane got tossed around in the most violent thermal activity in my short flying career of exactly 90 days at the time.  Half an hour of working the elevator, ailerons, rudder and throttle in constant motion to keep flying somewhat straight.  At one point I was getting so mentally tired I seriously contemplated putting it down on a pasture that passing beneath me. 
We landed at another airport well short of our destination (Crystal River), had lunch and hung around on the apron trying to talk the weather into calming down with encouraging phrases.  "Look the flag is hanging limp.  But the one 50 yards away is out straight".  We waited until things seemed to ease up and took off heading for the home field to the east in Clermont.  As soon as I got a few miles inland from Crystal River the thermals kicked in again with vigor!  I knew there was another airport a few miles ahead and decided to put it down again.  I just was not up to 30 more minutes of getting tossed around.  My plane spent the night in Inverness FL. My buddies came in the car, a one hour drive to fetch me.
Today I have that fell off the horse and need to get back in the saddle reluctance to fly.  It sucks.  The past few weeks have been consistently windy, but not so thermal-ly, so I got plenty of practice in winds 10-20 mph.  I'm feeling respectfully comfortable with winds and variable conditions, but not whopper thermals.   Yesterday was definitely a reminder that I'm still learning.

Flew the sun down with a few friends this evening.  Very peaceful flight, everyone was quiet on the radios. Still 78 degrees out when we landed. 

I can't seem to find definitive information on this. 
Can one safely operate without the doors?
if so, what are the ins and outs?
i realize a quarter folded sectional on my knee might be a tad difficult...
