I spent the day making windlace to run the perimeter of the side panels. And stitching up the rear hatch area.
I can’t staple it till I get the rear side panels on then rear seat set in. THEN I can align the stitching.
I didn’t think about the bulk when folding the edges.
When I drilled the panels for the clips, I had the bare wood against the boat. Now with the extra material. ( bow side panels), the push pins won't align . I’m going to cut them off and put in rivet nuts with studs. Then I can slot the holes in the fiberglass and use nuts.
