Today I tackled the Cabin cover again. I had previously decided to leave trimming the flash of the cabin door until fitting the doors becasue I was uncertain as to where the scribe lines were. However when Dean S. was over he pointed out where the trim scribe lines were, and I decided that would be the next task. It turns out that you trim quite a bit off, particularly off of the top, where you trim the curve to where it's nearly flat with the top of the door frame leaving only enough to carry any water away, and on the bottom, it's basically the same, I left significantly more of the flange on the fore and aft sides of the door, as that's where the trim lines indicated. The inside of the cabin is UGLY and ROUGH, I started the process of smoothing,filing, sanding on one of the posts, its clear that there is going to be several hours of plain old elbow grease to get the inside of the cabin top to a point that its' cosmetically acceptable. Even though much of it will get covered with headliner the boundaries and frame need to be preped so they can be finished in final paint. I figure a good 2-3 more days with the files and sandpaper before proceeding back to final fit and match drill to fuse.
