Day 12 of the complete overhaul

Today I used the grinder/buffer the smooth down the edges of the aluminum pieces I cut for the sides and then I took some constructors glue rated for metals and wood and saturated the backs. Then I attached them to the sides to finish out the remodeled front. I then used some sheet metal screws that have a washer that has neoprene on the body side that seal it once screwed in tightly. At the top I used the body top trim rails to cup over the top of the aluminum. Where the two pieces of aluminum meet I  will seal then place putty tape and trim over them to. Seal them again.

Then my son and I scraped and cleaned the trim and gave it a good 2-3 coats with rust-oleum spray. Once their dry tomorrow and fully cured we'll apply the putty tape and trim.
