Fly helm had seat looking to aft. Wife wanted to add seat and look forward. More pics coming.
Cut off seat...epoxy and ply worked well. Put in four round 6" hatches in front so it will be easier putting helm back on. Three teak louvered doors and 1 teak glove box in front. Burled walnut radio case goes in the front above glove box. All new white gauges on a burled walnut over fiberglass dash. Built the dash using cardboard as a mold. Speakers built in at sides and low volt floor lights all around. Primed with two part. Will apply light black fog tomorrow, sand until even and apply three more coats of primmer before spaying two or three coats of two part perfection finish coat. Big job but it is looking good if I do say so and more important. The wife is happy.
