Finally got some help today and got the second outside flare assembled. From here, it should go pretty smoothly. Next, Ill do the inner flare and bracing on this side, to make it look like the other. Then, its just a little more assembly, paint, and carpet.

dood that is a work of art. I'm sure there will be a ton of time in the box when its done.

Yea, there is already a lot of time in this box, but Id say the majority of it was in the "R & D" stage. Just figuring out the spacing on the flares was really tough, but once we got that all straight, it has gone together smoothly. Id say the hard part is over really....
