I've taken apart the cockpit area to refinish, repair and upgrade.

The skin on the driver and pass side is separated from the floor, about 1/4 in. on the driver side and less on pass side. The center of the belt line is about 3 or 4 in. up from the floor.

It seems to me like the nose of the front cap is sagging down, causing the area to bow out; any jacking on the nose areas has not reduced the bulge that is noticeable on the outside.

I could use an alum angle and fasteners, but that will make the repair visible on the outside.
Seal it up and ignore it is not my style of work.

How has this challenge been handled?

I want to say thank you now for any help, and the help I have received just by reading the forum most every day.
