The problem was that at one time in the bus' history someone replaced some of the metal in this area and they did not make sure that the opening was square and that created a MAJOR problem! It took most of Friday to get the area square and prepped for the doors. I'm real happy with the way it turned out. We still have to put the rest of rivets on the outside and complete the inside, but we both ran out of steam and I needed to get back home.
