It's hard to believe these pics were taken only 3 weeks after the first scraggly ones I posted. during day to day, it seems like this is taking forever, but checking out the pics and seeing the growth over time, I'm very satisfied.
I cut two 4" holes in the steel cab. I marked the hole with a coffee can lid. Used a long screw to punch starter marks in the steel at the 8 points of the compass. Then used a small bit to drill 8 starter holes. Then used a larger bit and drilled 8 larger holes. Then used a reciprocating saw (jig saw?) to cut from hole to hole, making a rough octagon. It worked perfectly.
Now some pics.
