I finished up a significant step today by getting the side skins, and related parts, ready to rivet.
I also prepped the side vents so that I could prime everything together.

I left the vinyl on the outside doors and set the countersink deep enough so that it would be flush when the vinyl is removed.

I also countersunk the vent holes in the side skins.

It was a beautiful day so I did all of the cleaning and etching outside. This was also much faster than my typical routine of using a large tub and table.

I then primed all of the parts.
