You have been so busy reconstructing a build thread!! Great job!!
I have some pictures of the process when we were configuring the doors. I'll upload those after work today. It shows where we gorilla glued in reinforcing wood blocks on the door and door jambs for screwing in the hinges and latches.
Drench Creek was loads of fun and a great test of water-tightness! I put my new boots to the test during the deluge - happy to report they are indeed, waterproof as stated.
For all the future foamie builders and thread followers, the pictures of the completed product doesn't really capture how nicely the color match is to the car! The outer canvas is very tough and rigid. There is no side to side sway due to the rigidity and wooden bulkheads.
Hugs,

LOLOL I thought about you everytime I went into the ladies restroom because it was soooooo warm in there. I admit I had to thaw out my fingers a couple of times under the hand drier.
BTW, I didn't even know you brought anyone else other than your kiddo and hubby. Never saw the grandkid hiding in the car.
With the wind gusts we had and sideways rain, what little wetness you got was even less than some of the other folks. The foamie is a marvel!
