Default Re: 21 Hull #136...Restoration...Started

Moving along... I got the dash filled and faired out.

The Original Dash Panel looks good, so I plan on using the SS panel and insert new gauges.

Just basic work here. I did not want to fill from the back of the dash because the angle was such, that cabosil running out would be a problem.

I just laid on layer of 1708 on the back side to close off the holes. Made some plywood plugs for the front, and mixed up a bunch of epoxy and cabosil, and start laying in.

After that was dry I started using Quick Fair to get every thing smooth. Used dykem to find the low spots.

Next week on to the transom.
