    Spraying the interior that is prone to the most wear with bedliner. Feels nice, and super durable!

    Swim deck test fit. Seems very solid, but need to take apart to paint and seal.

    Got the steering put in. Definitely need a new steering wheel though. But the steering cable I took out of the donor boat is just about perfect length, just slightly too long. Also found a nice place for the fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.

    Decided to carpet the removable panel on the front of the console. Has a nice slant to it for leaning against. Now I have to get some finish on everything!

    Got the front of the console glued and fit. Ran the steering cable through just to make sure it was a good length. It’s a little long but should work fine.

    When my Grandpa dies last year, we were cleaning up his shop and he had a trailer load of cedar stacked next to the e garage. So cedar it is! Obviously a little soft for the console, but hopefully it will hold up. Free is the best kind of wood. Plus, reminds me of Grandpa.

    This took way longer than it should have, but turned out well. Made this to fill the gap for the console.

    Started to install the headboard lining tonight. Should reduce echoing and it’s looking pretty nice.

    Made the cabinet doors this evening. I think the logo split between doors turned out pretty well.

    Looking at your windshield, looks like you replaced it. Where did you find a replica?

    I have not taken it off the donor boat yet, but am planning on it. Do you have any pictures of your Starchief?
