Yes it would. I just have to remember one day when it is out of bed.

Just thinking (dangerous I know), but it will be interesting to see if they cut and tuck, or if they have just made up a new bit of sheet metal to weld in. I don't know, but will be interesting to see, just in case, heaven forbid, I ever have to make a new Yella.

EDIT2: God I'll get it eventually. The way you have tackled it doesn't look too bad. How did you check to make sure it didn't suck in the outer panel? Bout the only risk I can see.
