Brief Description:  Drill rivet holes on skirts

After assessing the skirts I determined that the locations were as locked in as they could be. I decided to drill the remaining holes in the lower tube of the canopy frame. I used the duplicator and it worked well for the task. In the end I had 2 holes that the duplicator couldn't reach so I made templates for the left and right sides which required removing the skirts. After making the templates I once again installed the skirts and drilled the remaining four holes.

Next I decided to use the templates for the ribs that I made a few days ago and match drill the holes for the ribs.

With the assistance of my E/AB Bride and a straight edge we were able to mark the trim lines on the bottom of the skirts.

All went well with the work session but nothing has been resolved on the fit of the skirts on the back side of the turtle deck.....my Achilles Heel of these skirts!
