[QUOTE="Topgun, post: 202434, member: 4456"] The project is trudging along. Got the livewell plumbed, interior painted and the floor cut and carpeted. I also made a pedestal out of some scrap steel for the front seat. A couple tips on cutting the floor and carpeting: I used cardboard templates for making the floor boards. I spent a lot of time sanding and trimming to get a nice, tight fit. Don't obsess over this; the carpet will hide imperfections here. But DO make sure to leave an allowance for the width that the carpet will add to your boards. I underestimated this and had to peel the carpet back from the edges and make "adjustments". This would have been much easier before the carpet was done.[ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 016.jpg"]24077._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 018.jpg"]24078._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 013.jpg"]24080._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 015.jpg"]24084._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 012.jpg"]24086._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 021.jpg"]24087._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="ebay 020.jpg"]24088._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
