I'm impressed Gregg. The only thing I never tried, but I have an old friend that's done all my cars, race cars and boats. It's the one thing I won't cut corners on. Yours looks great.

It looks very nice ... It's just I know where the problem areas are ...

Splash well curtain done ...
Snap adjustment needed.
Working on side storage board.

Thinking about putting in some LED lights (light strips) under side panels.
There's an accessory switch on dash, that's not in uses.

If wrapped around inside, under side panels, are they bright enough to see stuff at night ?
One under dash & splash well, one on each side panel ?
Google search show's there pretty bright.

How's your set up Joe ?

Looks like mine are just 12" strips from ebay...1 LED per inch, so 12 LED per strip.  2 Strips for $5.  I placed them around the gunwales and wired up a switch under the dash.

Yes, I would change that to the warm white as well.  I don't believe that tone was available when I did mine...

Got the side panel storage boards done today.
Not mounted yet, have to find some chrome trim for top edge.
