We've built and bonded in the main door frames, baggage doors, installed the panel and all systems and windows with the top off and it is the ONLY way to go. Of course the top has to be rigidly affixed to the lower half while windows and doors go in, thus the clecos.

I know that I am to large to crawl out a wheel well door and looks close on the baggage door!
