Sweet! That'll be one sleek and classy interior when you're done.

BTW, how did you attach the handrail to the underside of the coach roof?

I'm lovin' the strips of wood on the cabin walls and the external chainplates. I would be very interested in seeing and hearing some details on the chainplate installation. I am flirting with the idea for #24. Keep up the good work and keep those pictures coming!

Yes the external chain plates, did you goto the outside of the existing knees, or the inside?, did the stays need lengthened? Did you reinforce the interior glass? How thick was the existing glass in the area?
