just a few rivets and you should be able to let the skin hang out of the way, I wouldn't take the panel out entirely unless you ahve a lot of other work to do. I'd use aluminum C Channel or similar, it is a standard dimension available at metal suppliers, and aluminum rivets, that way you have similar metals in there, wood in time could rot, especially with as prone to leaking as the vents are.
