[QUOTE="Eddie Spaghetti, post: 304058, member: 4180"] I had a Cabelas gift card, and turned that into a couple of their large aluminum hatches. There will be three up on the front casting deck, so I had to rout out the profile. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/Floor04_zps88a8f677.jpg[/img] Here, I'm ready to slop on a little glue to lay the carpet. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/Floor05_zps9efd1c02.jpg[/img] The casting deck carpet was laid, and I let things sit overnight. Then, the first seat base was installed. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/Floor08_zpsc405d8a8.jpg[/img] Next I made a bulkhead for the front of the casting deck. I purchased a couple hatch covers from Tempress, and thought it turned out pretty nice. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/CastDeck03_zpsc67e83c0.jpg[/img] [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/CastDeck04_zps395940a9.jpg[/img] I installed one of the hatches next. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/Floor09_zps77547d97.jpg[/img] But I hated the look, so I pulled out the heat gun. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/HeatGun_zps3e1226e0.jpg[/img] Luckily, I'd left enough carpet to cover the hinge. I thought it turned out ok. I think you can see them here. [img]https://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/estrandburg/Lund%20Rebuild/Floor12_zpsb8f03f15.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
