The pipe goes on first, then the tank goes on last.

what do the holes look like in the quarter panel. The screws need to thread into a hole and there are only slots on the pipe so it looks like they should thread into the quarter panel. So the pipe goes on from the outside.
 
year and model would help. If it's an inside mount (1970-???) then put the pipe into the tank while mounting the tank (with the trunk floor gasket on it!), then once the tank is secured, work the pipe up to the mounting face and insert the raised part in the hole and get the screw holes lined up which install from the outside threading into the filler neck flange. You can easily tell if it is an inside or outside flange because the outside filler tube flanges have holes bigger than the screws and the screws thread into the body metal, where inside mounts have body holes bigger than the screws and they thread into the filler tube flange.

Before you get this all nailed together make sure you have the right setup FOR A TANK VENT or have one at all. Now is the time to deal with it, and if there is ANY thought at all about vapor return for a carb, or pump regulator return, or maybe later on EFI now is the time to get the tank/ vent/ return set up

Right now I am going to have it as a dead head really don't know how to add anything the tank has a nipple for a vapor line that had a steel line that ran to the charcoal canister and I believe up to the carb but this is a new tank with a aeromotive electric fuel pump externally
 
The line you describe IS the vent unless you provided something different. Several guys have threads the last few months, and are considering or have installed a vent fitting into the filler neck to make it work more like the 69/ earlier cars

Not trying to "talk down" but the vent is the vent from outside air into the tank, and has nothing to do with return or vapor lines. The caps are not vented
 
I know that the 70s and non-CA 71s had a vent nipple in the filler tube, which is why it has to be installed from inside the trunk (the filler tube and vent nipple won't both go through the quarter panel hole). I had thought since the 67-69 tubes go in from the outside without that nipple for vent that the cap was vented. Please school me if that's not right... where does a 67-9 tank get incoming air???
 
The nipple I am referring to is on the gas tank that had a short rubber hose that hooked the to the nipple on the tank to the steel vapor line or what ever it is called that ran up to the charcoal canister I also took my fuel cap apart to clean it and that looks like it is vented I plugged the nipple on the gas tank
 
'67-'69 are from the inside, not outside. Vented from top of filler neck by a tube that runs back down to and through the rubber floor boot.
