My problem was I did the sides before the center section.  Well, you sort of 
have to, but I didn't know just where the edge of the center section would 
come down.  Next time for sure!  Leaving the pieces in the sun helped a lot to 
get things to fit nice and tight, though.

I used a TRF interior and carpet set too, and was quite pleased with the 
results.  To install interior panels, a wonderful tool is a machinists scribe 
-- a little tool with a straight point on one end and a 90 degree bent tip on 
the other.  To locate screw holes, hold it so that the 90 degree tip pokes out 
from where the hole is and press the panel onto it.  Remove, use the other end 
to enlarge the hole and screw into place through the now perfectly situated 
hole. (THis tip came to me from Chris Kantarjiev -- thanks!)
