Geez….
If my math is right, a “young buck” here is defined as 48 years old!
I’m pleased to be only five years removed from “young buck” status.

Welcome aboard George.
Over in the manuals section you will find complete schematics for a VW based Classic Roadsters Duchess (down near the bottom of the Download Manuals page).
While not a Fiberfab, there should not be much difference. They may help. -
