I need more space, and SSEi dashes are simply full... I filled the console, and added things to the dash panel (heated seats and fog light switches). Here we go..hold on to your Aeroforces..

More fiberglass has been added. It'* looking pretty good.

Though it'* not very symmetrical. I think we need 3 more on the other side. I'll add those while Bill is working tomorrow.

you know, most people would fll that with bondo. cheaper and easier to sand down later if needed.

Looks good though.
