Final Flooring

Work is still progressing on the T-bird, and it is still slowly coming together. The past few trips have us with a completed deck, hatches cut, and the deck glassed to the sidewalls. We have also started putting the rod-holders/supports in on the sidewalls and began to do something a little more "fun" - we have started laying out the guages, steering and throttle controls on the helm. Some significant work is left to be done there...here are the pics:

THE DECK!!! We are going to epoxy-paint the floor to seal it and then apply the previously mentioned Durabak:

Future rod holder cab'd into place - awaiting some more glass:

Here is a shot of the seams at the two flooring sections and the sidewall:
