Hehe.... I don't know if misery loves company, but I can sure relate! I'm working on a Storm LT - actually found the internal strongback a piece of cake - but since this is my 'first' stripper, doing something new always seems fraught with 'complications'. I decided to take a page from several builders here, and just 'do it'. So far, works like a charm. Hull stripped, even looks fair! So dive in, don't worry about the little stuff.
