Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Just in case you're wondering, the pattern is about 10" high. I used 2 x 3's - 4 of 'em high.

The inside of the finished sink should be about 15" x 22" and between 8 and 10 inches deep when finished, since it will be tapered.







Why so large? I want to be able to put a 12" pot/pan in there, and anything much smaller than that will not work.

I finally finished my sink pattern for the sink sidewalls today. I suppose I should have done this right from the beginning, but I wanted to see how things would work with the small strips of wood.

Since it looks like it should work ok, I finished it today.

Yup, I think I may have to make a Harbor Freight run! Lol.

For those, I put on the tint but it was still pretty hot, so I got two of those bamboo shades and hung them. That combo works really good for my house.

Thanks.

That's kind of what I thought. In order to keep out the majority of heat, would require a basically, black out cover.

Thanks.

We have been experiencing a fairly hot summer this year, and I have been experimenting with different coverings for the windshield to keep the heat out.

What have you found that works the best for keeping the inside cooler, and is it on the inside or outside of the windshield?

After applying the glue, and then the second layer of strips, then I added clamps and wood to hold everything in place.

This second layer is glued to almost the end of the first layer.

The earlier versions, I only glued around the corner area, and I must say, this seems much easier and better.

I may have to rethink the other pieces I have made. I'll have to have another look, as to how I can tie them together.
