Someone left it outside for years. I started putting it all together and something was not right. There are screws underneath that hold the deck to the cross beams. I had the cross beams (3) under the metal rails instead of on top. Now I can screw the deck on. Your pictures made that clear ! Thanks so much. I used a modern ski. Cut up to fit for the deck. All stainless hardware now. Old rusty rivets are history thanks to my angle grinder ! I am going to paint it all red. I don't like ski names showing on the deck. Maybe I will paint the name on it too.
