Build UpDate - Trim Pics *Pics Added 8-18*

Postby Mary K » Thu Aug 16, 2007 2:49 pm

First off, ya got to have these to get anything done lately
Image

Except for the doors all the trim is on, plugged and filler added. I am waiting to get the doors on before I start all the sanding to the trim.

Image

It looks rough with the filler everywhere and plugs poking up.


:question: MadJack,
What do I do with the overhanging hatch Hinge & trim. Do I trim it back even with the side trim & diverter. Or should i leave it hanging over like it is and finish it (sand, stain & poly).

Image

Thanks,

Mk

MK, that is looking great...as to the divertor, I would trim it close(a coping saw, maybe?) and keep in mind that you may need to stick a piece of flat weatherstripping somewhere in the gap between the hinge and body to get a completely watertite seal...

I'd cut the hinge and it's supports to match the side trim piece. It's lookin awsome Mk. :thumbsup:

Looking good. Keep plugging away.

Sorry. :R
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

It looks lovely MK.

I do have a question though - how do you keep the water from pooling on top with the trim creating a box up there?
