Hi Guys
I have been real busy over the holidays working on my JT2.
I have uploaded some pictures into a folder called "Fred's JT2 instrument panel development" as promised.
Hope you find them interesting.
Feel free to make suggestions or comments. I would hate to overlook something that may bite me later.
Thanks
Fred

Fred, your instrument panel and side panels are going to look really sleek. Just remember that you will have to get behind the panel at times, and probably more than you would like, so you might keep in mind easy access. My panel hinges forward with a little coaxing, as getting my head behind it is not an option on the Gull 2000. Fiberglass is fun, huh?

Hi Kess
Thanks for the comment.Once I have the rough sculpting done I will work out easy access as you suggested.
One interesting thing I noted when I took the instruments out. A mud wasp had filled in about 2/3rds of my airspeed static port. Wonder if that has affected my airspeed reading much.

I have posted a bunch more pictures of the dash development.
The 3 pieces are now done and need to be faired, painted and polished for mold making.I will post more pictures when I get the molds done. This should take quite a while.
Hope you find this of interest.
