Got the gauge bezels polished and installed on the dash. I shrunk down some Stewart Warner faces and then printed them on photo paper and covered them with clear tape for a glass effect. Then cut them out with scissors and glued them into the bezels.







Next, I installed the dashboard into the boat. Previously, I had removed the grey cloth tape that covered the seam and sanded down the chunks of glue from the original dash and also sanded the entire length of the mating surface for a good bond with the CA. After the dash was firmly installed, I cut some cockpit coaming and used white glue and masking tape to hold it in place while drying.





I also got my jackstaff stern light installed.



To make gas caps, I took the stock exhaust tips and cut off the spouts. The resulting contoured 'cap' fits the knurled rings I made.





After I sand down the remaining high spots and finish painting the tops, I will install my 'gas caps'.
