Looks good. I'm leaving Lafayette after work to go pick mine up this evening. Any tips/suggestions?
Umm...measure twice, cut (or drill) once
Oh...and use the right tool for the job (as far as attaching hardware and whatnot goes). Well nuts kinda suck for anything that'll be under stress. Tri fold rivets are much better, but they don't work in corners. Remember this before you drill the holes and then proceed to frick up 2 rivets and your pole clips and wonder WTF you're gonna do to attach this thing now that you've already got 2 holes drilled

Use a 23/64 drill bit to for the hole and they'll hold just fine. I've rigged 5 yaks with everything from anchor trollies to rod holders using well nuts and so far not a single one has pulled out. Most people over drill the hole and over-tighten the bolt causing the rubber fitting to pull through.
