[QUOTE="Starkfishes, post: 437786, member: 22441"] I finally have all of the framing complete and of course forgot to take a picture of the completed framing before skinning the first section. I used cardboard to make a template before cutting the aluminum sheet and it sure made it easy. Johnny's latice trick looks great too but I had some boxes just layigng around. The sheet is held with #6 stainless screws and I countersunk all of them so as to not feel them under the carpet. I am going to hook up all of the electronics tomorrow before finishing the front deck skinning in case I need to pull any new wire for any reason (nicks/shorts, cut wire ...). A lot can happen to the wires stepping on and around them with cut aluminum bracing everywhere. Hopefully all is well with the wiring. If so, I think I can be done skinning tomorrow and ready to paint next week. Here are some pictures of the progress: [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/301FCDD3-8043-44BF-8B05-9A971DB5AAFB.jpg[/img] [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/7FC8F681-BF01-433F-A9BC-C7D8B6ABEADD.jpg[/img] [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/52750B2B-BF6C-428F-BE61-08F5534CC6C3.jpg[/img] [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/40E38D75-F93E-406B-B063-5456B5A46D36.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
