It's high time I begun drilling the panel. I decide to begin with the mapbox. I used a method described in the 5th 2008 Rvator, Vans's news letter that can be downloaded here.
The first cut is done using a jigsaw.



I needed almost two hours to file the opening to the correct size.



After the hinges are riveted I make some small adjustments.



This is the door in the open position, I still have to install some kind of lock.
