I'm sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't find an answer.
What do I do with the big gap between the window frames and the door frames?
Book says to rivet at those points.

Isn't there a Kitfox factory video about this? I know I have seen it. I have been looking for it with no luck.

There may be one but I've not found it. I did find a post by John Mcbean on the door frame but its the old style frame pieces. He does have a large gap but I don't know what he done with it.

Thanks Steve. I'm still wondering what to do with the big gap. I see John had a big gap too. Do I bend it over and rivet or fill it?? Does the fabric attach to these frame pieces? thanks

Harlan, I bent the outer one over and riveted them together. Then I superfil'd over them and it turned out great.

Make sure you have the pieces oriented properly. My first pass I had a couple of them in the wrong place. That made the gap bigger. I still had a gap in the end though. Tweak them a bit, hysol and rivet. Then superfill. A window needs to go inside and attach so they should be on the same plane to accommodate that. Fabric goes over all sides of it too.
