[QUOTE="KevinWI, post: 238987, member: 7422"] Continued on with the modification today. Got a lot accomplished including cutting out the front deck, building the support framing for the side bench/shelf. Originally I had only intended to build a shelf on the side, but now that the framing support is complete, it has me contemplating making it a storage area also. Mulling it over. One error today. cut the front deck out. and the new area will be hinged hatch for storage. I used 1 1/2" of the existing aluminum deck as a platform support for the hinged area (so I didn't have to eat up any more 1/8" angle alum.). On the original front deck there was a hole cut out for the front swivel seat. So I proceeded to cut the hole out only to realize the plate of the swivel seat extended past the planned hinged area. :oops: oh well. Took the cutout, added some dust to some wood glue and glued it back in.....waiting for it all to set up before I start epoxying all the wood. Was 19 degrees outside today, but I didn't notice...was having just too much fun to think about the cold. :D [/QUOTE]
