Port side peel ply removed. Oh notice the caps in the sockets. What I did was take a block of foam and push it down in the socket, then took it back out and covered it with car wax. Once all the ribs are in I'll see how it worked.

Here is Bill placing in some 2x6's to act as a support for the rear rib. The I-beam is 3 inches wide so the 2x6 fit perfectly. I'll explain later how those come into play.
