Some more work on the flip up bolster... and a bit of a set back.

Here is the set back... When I made the front plate on the bolster, I neglected to account for the aft cushion height. It will not flip all the way up.

I will have to take the bolster apart and rework the front plate to shorten it. Oh well, trial and error... eeh!!!

Have a good Friday...

Well, A bit more action today... the interior bits removed. most of the carpet removed. The floor is not as I hoped, but as I expected. The stringers/bulkheads that I can see so far are hosed.

Also, if you dont have an oscillating cutting tool, I highly recommend one!!!! I really wish I had one during the GT build!!! I picked up a rockwell one, a month or so ago, love it. I think it would save the accidental hull cut throughs that sometime happen in deconstruction.

Have a good evening!!

Looks very familiar....gives me anxiety looking at all that rot, lol. The oscillating tool was a big part of my deconstruction. Went through a lot of blades though!!!

We are.....Penn State.
