I really appreciate all the comments and help offered! I am getting pretty into the repair at this point. The hoist has sure made it nice to raise and lower to comfortable working height for whatever area I am working on. Including the underside! And I can lower it almost to the floor to access over the top!
I have de-riveted all areas and am working on straightening a couple of minor wrinkles. Have ordered all the parts needed...well, MOST

, from Van's...new lower gussets, longer gear leg/engine mount, and the new epoxy cowl kit!
Question...I am attempting to straighten the small wrinkles at the lower corners...as I don't see how I can replace the complete side skin as the overlap joint appears to be under a bulkhead (404)...which I guess 404G
could be removed for bucking access...?? Comments on wrinkle repair vs complete skin replacement??
