Message	Basically You have to measue measure.. And I even made all cuts over the line to allow more room then trim as needed. I went to harbour Frieght and bought a nibbler to cut the sheet metal.. look into that.. But yea if you have the welder and access to compressed air, go for it! You need to cut random tabs off and bend some.. Drill all the tap welds holding the "skin" onto the frame parts and remove them.. Get th frame parts in first, then skin.. -George
