[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 484188, member: 4238"] I started working on the interior panels today. Still have more to do, but I got a decent start on it. All panels are .100" aluminum. Everything is mounted with threaded trick tabs so it can be removed without too much trouble. Trick tabs all layed out.
