Enlarged the holes in the gas struts as directed, match drilled pieces to the side rails that were already tack welded in place, filed down the forward center weld where the plexiglass will meet the frame.
Had a question about the instruction to bevel the angle of the side rails which didn't make sense to me, but got clarificatioin from Van's that it applies only to the most forward section of the side rail (presumably to make skin fit.
