All-
Back to Zenith Construction Problemsolving 101. Applying siding is child's play compared to working on the project!
1. My gold oil top cover came from WW and subsequently I just had to tear the rear accessory cover and pulley back off. The gold oil top cover is an essential part if you're not using a remote oil system. What isn't evident until you actually get the cover is that there is a bushing that has to be pressed out of the factory rear cover to allow you to install it. The advantages of the gold oil cover are the ability to use an integral oil filter and ports for the oil temp and pressure senders. Check into this before you start bolting things together.
2. My first thought re: mid skin pucker was to lap the side skins over the mid skin. Larry Mac talked me out of it, because this is an opportunity for water to enter the inner airframe.
Perhaps a better way of approaching the problem was suggested by Jeff Small. "Spoon" a little bit of curvature into the junction area.
Good building. (I hope I actually get some in!!)
