With the skeleton complete I got a piece of poster board and traced a pattern for the side panel on the right console. Took a while to put the poster board against the console frame and mark it to cut the poster board then recheck etc etc.
After getting the panel right I marked a sheet of .032 aluminum. On the left side I used .040 alum because I have the manual trim handle attached to the side panel and wanted a little more stiffness. But for the right side I feel .032 will work well. I just cut out a rough cut and will begin to fit it next session.
