Well I got a bit further today. Took a vacation day from work, got the valance scuffed up, and primered. Did some quadruple checking to be sure it's where it needed to be, and zzzzzzap!!! In it went. The temp support out of steel conduit and steel angles are all cut back out and tomorrow I will be installing the lock catch box. Trunk closes nice and square though. Very happy with the results.
