Could use a little help in Bakersfield

Hi all,
Is there anybody in Bakersfield or close by who would be willing to come to my house to look at my airplane and give me some advice? I am stuck on the canopy frame and too nervous to move forward. Specifically I have a larger dimension on the width between the tracks that is causing me some heartburn. The plans have a nominal measurement of 40 13/16" between the vertical portions of the tracks. I have 41 3/16". I have spent countless hours re-measuring and re-reading the plans. At this width the aft portion of the tracks will require substantially more trimming than the 1 3/8" shown on the plans to make it flush. This is not a place I want to make a mistake. So, I could use a little help if anyone is willing. Thanks!
 
Stick your head into...

...the EAA hangar at Bakersfield Muni Airport (by the cafe)

There should be enough help there....
