Dean, after reading your post again, I was thinking about a couple of the fellows that did have spring back. When I saw where you were talking about using your template, I had this thought. Maybe the guys that had spring back could make a template and check to see how much spring they had. They could cut short ribs, using their template as a guide,a hair short and screw them in between their horizontal ribs and pull their hatch back into shape and recheck with the template as they put the short ribs in. The could do a dry fit to see if the short ribs were short enough, then after the hatch is pulled back to the correct shape, they could go back and glue and screw them then. It is just a thought.
I started out with nothing and I still got plenty left.
