Door pin blocks

I started working on the door pin blocks, starting by positioning and match-drilling the stock blocks:

Van's forward pin block match-drilled into place

Van's aft pin block match-drilled into place

With those reference holes, I then started "sculpting" the Planearound blocks (which are larger) to fit tightly in the same spot:

I also started fitting the Plenaround third latch, and since I still have the door halves separate, I'm considering installing it before joining the halves, which avoids the large slots to insert it:

I also installed the nutplates inside the door handles:

I still need to make a final decision on how to install the Planearound system, and still need to actually fit the doors to the cabin cover and join their halves.
