The skins are two layers, an outer skins and inner skin Since none of the panels or doors will open, I have sealed them in with JB Weld on the inner skin. Tonight I worked on outer skin.

| A hacksaw is all I need to use to remove the laser-cut panels. They leave just enough material un-cut to hold the skin pieces together. |

| A few simple cuts and the rear panel is out. This is going to eventually piece a removable panel to access R2's insides. |
 |
| Label the pieces! This way, when it is time to bond them back together, you have some clues to remind you what went where! |

| The panels that are completely removed and not needed are pretty easy to remove with a sharp chisel. Just apply some pressure on the tab that holds it in place and off they come! |
