What do do with all the wires...radio, speakers, power for front lights, power for 12volt outlets, power for 120 outlet..wires wires wires!!! ALL THREADED THRU HOLES! Only thing to do is mark them and cut them...SNIP SNIP SNIP!
I am going to clean up the Lance mess...out of sight etc.... must be their motto!

All glued on with silicon, cure overnight.
This is one of the parts of the project I was not looking forward to, just so many unknowns...but turns out that it is not as bad as I expected, many small bits to accomplish one by one.
