[QUOTE="Heynow, post: 197215, member: 5605"] One of the big debates was figuring out how I should attach my front deck structure to the front seat. If you recall, the 2x2’s will be sitting on top of the center seat and will run into the face of the front seat. At first I was going to cut a hole into the top of the front seat and remove some foam. That way I’d be able to reach in my hand and bolt L-brackets onto the face. Instead, I made it a little easier on myself and decided to attach a face plate to the seat using Liquid Nails and some big self-tapping screws. Instead of wood, I used a piece of plastic material that I had available. I'm not exactly sure what the material is, but I had some 1x8 pieces of it which I was able to cut to the shape of the seat face. I'm satisfied with the way that it's on there; it feels pretty darn strong: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/IMG_0364.jpg[/img] With the face plate attached, I was able to sit my 2x2 supports onto its lip. I also attached some L-brackets for a little added support: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/IMG_0365.jpg[/img] Later today I plan on attaching the vertical support posts and will hopefully start to work on the rear deck in the same fashion that I did the front.
