Default Frp

Dave thanks for the offer, I will take you up on it. I have drilled all of the holes in the walk-through panel (29) and today I should get all of the nutserts installed. When I put the FRP back on I should have some idea how long it will take to get the bolts started. I think the drivers side panel will have over 60 bolts. Extra hands will help in applying the Sikaflex adhesive, starting the screws, clamping (lots of clamps for windows) and tighten all the screws. My new plan is to do the back panel, walk-through, underside of bunk and front of bunk without adhesive and then remove them and set then aside. The sides are so big I think it will be faster to have both ends open for gluing and clamping and installing bolts. For sure it will be a few weeks at best but I will keep you up on the progress.
