imgp7225Getting the fiberglass trimmed for the front deck took quite some time. (between initial Dremel tool sanding and hand filing).

 

 

 

imgp7211imgp7216Next was measure the door jam bottom, then drill #19 holes for #8 countersunk screws.

 

 

 

imgp7254imgp7257Check for size, then countersink with an angle tool.
