An interesting idea for sure. I have considered doing this
myself. Mods I would make would include lighter-weight cabinet
grade plywood throughout and a bit more room to remove/replace
the engine cover ('82 steel). I would personally prefer a white
laminate finish with wood trim.
BTW David, I'm trying to hit your website and I get "Connection
Refused". It pings OK but no access. 9:45 a.m. 4 Sep Pacific
time.
