This falls in the category of "I had the sheet aluminum, and my first side skin wasn't perfect." No extra expense, just an evening of my time to get rid of a couple of unfortunate drilling mistakes.

I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

NACA vent area, with another hole issue corrected along the line of bronze clecoes.
