As a suggestion, before you install the headliner, put a threaded transfer
punch
(McMaster-Carr) in the insert. Then, after you put the headliner panel up,
just
thump it with your hand. You'll be able to feel where the punch is located.
Mark it so you don't lose track of it. Then use a gasket hole punch to
take out
a circle around the transfer punch. Remove the punch and install cabinets.
A good plan would be to install short lengths of all-thread in the inserts
before
putting the cabinets up. Just slide them onto the studs in the side wall,
then
lift them over the ceiling studs and put a shoulder underneath while you
get a nut on one of the studs. At that point, you can just add nuts or
exchange
the studs for bolt, one at a time. You can tell all my plans are based on
working alone, as that's the way I work.
