Lined the port side pocket with vinyl and installed the vinyl on the port side panel.
Side panel temporally installed. Still need to add the foam behind it.
While I had the table saw set up to cut aluminum, I cut all the parts for the back. 4 pieces were cut for angle braces and using my brake, they were bent to the angles need.
