Re skin foreword fuselage

Has anyone done a re skin of forward fuselage? Specifically skins F-420 and F-423 ? These are .032" .....has anyone upgraded to .040" ? .... how did you keep fuselage " jigged"? ...obviously one side at a time . Any help is appreciated. Original builder used machine countersink and plans call for dimpled ....about 20 % difference in strength , might be ok but can not turn a blind eye where strength is involved . Will of course check with VANS
Many thanks
