As I was pondering the next steps, I decided to enclose the storage compartment. I knew I needed an angle on the side panel to take up the gap by the side skeleton angles. Having fabricated and drilled that, I began enclosing the storage compartment by getting a two inch gap enclosed in the front of the compartment. Took a little bit to cypher out how I was going to do it then a few iterations before getting it right.
Decent work session but burned some time re-doing some things to get it right. All in all it's coming along well.
