Here are the yokes after we
removed the old steering
wheel
wrap.
I can see now why they used
the steering wheel
wrap. The
one I'm holding here is pretty
ratty.
Here's the original main
panel
prior to removal.
Another shot of the main panel
from the co-pilot's
side. Notice
bits of the old insulation still
attached to the fuselage skin.
Here the main panel has been
removed. You can see
the old
original firewall pad in the
background.

the main panel.

Here's a shot with the new
firewall pad installed - looks
great! Notice that
the various
brackets that attach to the
firewall through
the lower
section of the pad have been
stripped and
painted to match
and the old insulation has been
removed
and the skin cleaned
and zinc chromated.

pad.
Here's the heater vent cover all
painted and ready to
install.
Here's a shot of N8082A with
the left aileron, rudder
and
elevators removed for reskinning.
This is the uncut, original main
panel that we are
installing.
This panel, along with the
overlay
panels, knobs, glove box
door, and bezels will all be
sent
out for paint before being
reinstalled.
