Thanks guys! Wish I had the time and money to just stay on it til it's completed, but that ain't gonna happen.......


Didn't like all the funny angles on the dash, and somebody at one time had hacked the center out of it with a torch so I cut out the stuff I didn't like, made up some supports, and cut out some .032" aluminum and made a flat panel. The original instrument panel had numerous coats and colors of rattle can paint on it so I took my little sandblaster to it, then painted it with a couple coats of epoxy primer. Also made some panels for the outside of the firewall out of aluminum. Later on these panels will be glued into place and the cleco holes plugged. Shot a bit of epoxy on the jambs and around the outside window and door openings, getting things all back in one color seems to make it easier to see where I'm at and what changes I like/dislike and finish things off as required.
