1. Drilled the rest of the holes at the bottom of the canopy edge up to #27. Deburred all holes.
2. Jim help me get the canopy onto the frame, then we clecoed it in place at about 1/3 of the holes.
3. Used soft pop rivets in 11 locations to temporarily fasten the canopy to the frame, in preparation for the next big step -- fitting the skirts. I had to Dremel down about eight of the rivets because the stems broke off about 1/8" above the rivet heads. Weird.
4. Got the skirts off the shelf where they've been sitting for a long time. Cleaned them and inspected them.
5. Drew a Sharpie line along the factory scribe line.
6. With a cutoff wheel, I cut 1/4" outside the marks. Used a mini Scotchbrite wheel in a drill to deburr the sharp edges.
7. Did a test-fit of the skirts, just to see how they fit. The left one actually seemed to lay reasonably flat at both the top and bottom, but the right one is way off, in numerous ways. It will definitely take some work to get it fitting well.
