OK gang got a belated update:
Lately ive been going thru the doctor circle jerk, with little to show for it.....but thru all their tests, they said the ekg showed a silent heart attack, whatever that means, lol.....but they told the admiral which triggered a defcon 1 for a spell. So the doctors and the vampires at the lab have me on a rabbits diet and whatever..but all is well
Ive managed to steal some shop time when the admiral was out and moved this project along.
With some help, I got the sides skinned, basically we cut the ply a bit over sized, then put it on with a few temporary screws, then traced off the contour, removed the screw\s, and put it with a jig saw. then rescrewed the sides on and filled the indents,,was a bit of a chore,,
