Do you have any photos to share? Walls go on differently depending on the brand...
A couple of tips: you can temporarily screw wooden out riggers below floor level to help support the wall. We did that with the Corvette (plywood wall) and it worked well. You may have to block yours to floor level or?
Use criss cross boards anchored at the windows and floor plus side to side boards. Anything to get the size right. REMEMBER: 1/4" narrower than you think it needs to be...
Also, have the cabinets built before the wall goes in, especially the closet and lower K cabinet. They will help square things up and provide a lot of support. Not to mention you can see what you're doing since the framing is bare. Anchoring will not be a problem.

Wow Gary, looks great! Do your walls sit on the floor or attach to the sides? From the one photo, looks like they sit on the floor. Unfortunately mine attach to the sides, which seems like it will be a pain.

Gary,
Let me remove my drool cup. So much space to work with. I would be in heaven.
I noticed how you anchored your walls with small wood in the wheel well openings and then also adding addition of the smaller wood to the studs to make those right angle connections. Sweet. I only remember seeing longer cross bracing. I guess I haven't been around enough, yet, LOL.
Did you have help setting those up?
I am saving your pix on my computer when I do my walls.
Cheers,
Rod

Sherrifriend,
I would post your question about the dimensions of your closet in the Vintage Owner Talk forum in it's own thread. I really think you will get more exposure there, then posting down in this subforum.
Good luck.
Rod
