So I had some time today and decided to install the Galley, Bulkhead, and Cabinet front.
Its getting cold here in the northeast and these old bones don't work so well in the cold. So I decided to pack it up for the winter and pickup where I left off when I get back from the south.
I would like to thank everyone on this site that has giving me advise about this project, you all have been most helpful. I would also like to than my friends Jim and Chris for doing the bull work for me.

Cut out the other door and hang the door on one side. Wired the door light and ran wires to rear for the tail and marker lights. Fitted vent to make sure it will fit after roof is installed. Lots of work done.

No Pics today. So installed all the new LED markers lights. Hung the other door and installed door light. Finished and installed the all the wiring for tail, brake and turn signals.
It took me 2 hours to make a pattern for the taillights so I can use the router to cut them out, when I bought the lights no instructions or
cutout template came with it plus curve of the rear had to be figured in. Time consuming when you have to figure this stuff out yourself and make sure your right the first time.
