Whitewater Interior Progress

Bryan before you go painting. I'd build some kind of removable box cover, to cover up all the switch's,guage's and such.

You can glue clete's to the fiberglass you have there now and attach it with screw's into the cleate's. Use finish washer's with a flat washer under them to keep the finish washer's from digging in.
You could build it out of 1/4 lauan and put a layer of 4oz cloth over it.

While it's cold out, were coverall's to keep clean and warmer. A tyvex suit will do very well for that in the winter time. No air flow thru them. In the summer there's no way I can wear them. To damn hot.

Yeah. The box/cover is already in the works. It is going to be partially removable and partially fastened in. The part that is a little less removable is going to hold switches for all the lights, pumps, guages and anything else that doesn't need to be on the dash. Like the hour meter and such. It will also hold the VHF and Stereo head unit. I am trying to keep a minium amount of stuff outside. I'll proably make it out of mohaghany luan in certain parts so it can be fineshed showing the wood and other parts will be glass covered plywood painted to match the rest of the stuff. Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming.
