[QUOTE="Islander78, post: 472768, member: 24501"] More clean up, 5 - 55 gallons bags full at this point.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20200406_175224.jpg"]104913._xfImport[/ATTACH] Removed the bow frame that had some broken supports, and had a small live well incorperated in it. The passenger glovebox and windshild dashboard was all rotted too, salvaged the box and windshild, debating with a reinstall or leave it out to make more room. Got some plywood, went with 5/8cdx instead of the 1/2 that was in there. Was gunna treat the ply with something, but the funds were low.
