Preparing to replace the front wall skin on my Hawk with a new skin that I bought from FWC (VERY reasonable price, I'm glad to say). Anyone out there with advice on installation methods? After welding the broken frame welds that I expect to find underneath the existing, torn skin, my plan is to screw on the new skin and then cut out the window hole with tin snips/aircraft shears. Anyone experienced with this or other methods or tools for the job? It might be tough to work around the framing with snips but I want to make sure I cut the hole accurately. Maybe template off the old one? Thanks for the input.
