Chris, first thanks for being a Florida local resource for this repair. It's a long way from here to OK. Second, your experience with the bottle jacks is exactly what I have done to bring the skins back into alignment. It helps a lot IF you can put the side you are working on in the sun, with the jacks in place, and just wait a couple of hours. However, given our weather this week, I know the sun was MIA. And third, I completely buy into the rivets along the vertical skins to hold them fast against the frame. Not beautiful, but it works.
