Built the new bases for the seats, and the engine bay. I know it isn't as nice as everyone else's, but it will get there. Lol.

Looking good. Could you send pics of the hinges for your hatch? Also how do you secure your hatch to keep it from flying open? Thanks!

Thanks, Steve

Well that makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich!

Here you go, Steve.
I am using the hinges that came on the boat, which had three different hatches on it and looked like crap. I prefer the single piece hatch. I am using the same style of latches that are used on tool boxes, retail at surplus tool places for about $15 each, with some custom made catches inside. I will send pics of those when I get them finished. Lol. In the meantime, I am using some gas/hydraulic lift shocks to hold it up/down. I have them set up so that they are offset to push the hatch attachment points back while the hatch is closed, to give it some downward pressure. Hope this helps.

Installed my fire extinguisher mount my buddy water jetted out. Use them on the jeeps and RZRs but figured this would do for now. Wish I was stainless or aluminum. Maybe on the next go around

Haha my wife is always saying all I do is go to the garage after work even if I work a 12-18hr day I manage to get in there for a hour or so. And I'm having a baby so I have to finish it! She's already making talk about me getting a day cruiser....as soon as I'm sure that's it's safe and reliable I want to set up a day trip and hopefully meet some of you guys out at Elsinore.
