[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 233264, member: 7076"] I finally got around to cleaning the two side panels last night. I used a wire cup brush on my 3/8 drill and it worked like a charm, but it still took me about 1 hr to do both panels. [ATTACH type="full" alt="111206 - IMG_0813.jpg"]31162._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also enlisted the help of my wife to install the two painted side rails for the side panels last night. I needed her to press and align the rivet holes while I popped the rivets in place. I tried doing it by myself, but the grip range of the rivets is on the very limit of the thickness of the stacked up materials. Once I had her helping, it worked great. [ATTACH type="full" alt="111206 - IMG_0811.jpg"]31163._xfImport[/ATTACH] I had to play with the routing of the wire looms through the foam to align them with the holes in the aluminum side panels. Now that it's all lined up, I can get around to laying the vinyl. [ATTACH type="full" alt="111206 - IMG_0812.jpg"]31164._xfImport[/ATTACH] And lastly, I replaced the throttle controls. It took a little effort to get the holes re-aligned, but I got them in the end. So far, no new holes have been drilled :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="111206 - IMG_0809.jpg"]31165._xfImport[/ATTACH] Tonight, Vinyl. I swear... [/QUOTE]
