Sucessfully bent the skin
I bit the bullet and bent the skin. It took three of us to do it. I recruited Yuri and Sandi to help out. I won't go into details as I essentially bent it the same as the first skin but let's say it wasn't a walk in the park.
After bending, I cleaned up a bit and put things back in place. I cleco'd the ribs to the bottom and put the skin in the cradle and cleco'd the top side. Holes lined up pretty easily. I need to order a couple of ribs to replace some that I mangled during the last attempt.
(Time: 2 hours)
