Attaching the sides to soundboard

 Once the sound board is mounted to the neck, I added a tail block at the bottom of the sound board the same width as the thickness of the sides away from the template line.

 Dry fit the sides and clamp in place........

INSERT expletive (here).......

Notice the gap between the bottom of the heel and the height of the sides....

 .......it's a little much, so I made a heel extension :-)

 Shaped to match......

 ......and then continued where I left off.

 Once everything was lined up and dry fit with spool clamps, I glued the sides down.

Another view....
