As you can see from my earlier post a few posts up I will be doing exactly that. But it may not be done in time for you. When are you planning on doing this... It should only take about 4 to 6 hours for you to get it finished but that's if you have done skin replacement before. You can go look at my videos on the front and rear skin replacements that I have done but I don't have a brand new top replacement on video yet. It's the same though just a little tougher to get it all lined up. I am just now making a video on using a router to cut holes for opening in new skin or old using a router. It should be up by tonight sometime. It takes a long time for me to upload videos because of my crappy Verizon connection. You may want to cut the top vent hole with a router because it makes it perfect where as when you pre-cut the holes they usually don't line up exactly right. The router worked REALY REALLY GOOD! I will never precut a hole in metal skin again. I will also use it to cut the sides when they are new. Just run the router along the top of the curbing and it cuts the metal perfect. My videos are listed and defined so it's not too hard to find the videos you want. The website is www.cannedhamtrailers.com

Thanks, mobiltec. I have watched most of the skin videos on your site, and they have been so helpful. I still have one that I want to watch. I think we are going to start on Wednesday, but am not sure. Thanks for the info on the router, too.

I think we are going to start on Wednesday, but am not sure. Thanks for the info on the router, too. I'm working on the router one now. Dang I couldn't believe how easy it was. I love it. Should be up tonight sometime and I will post it here in TOOL TALK...
