Removed the Pedals!!

Spent the day looking for a powdercoat shop for the 3 instrument panel sections and the mapbox cover and hinges. Found one that will do my job for about $40. Will be back here in 1-2 weeks. Will most likely paint the interior of the mapbox with grey primer. The panel is going to be a medium grey with a 2nd flat/satin clear coat finish (2 coats). This should eliminate reflections. Adam and I, plus Roger, a friend, removed the rudder pedals. After that experience am going to go to Harbor Freight and buy a 1/4" air rachet! (CAUTION-when using the air rachet, start the threads by hand and tighten them with the torque wrench!)

DO NOT INSTALL the pedals until the very latest!!!! I CANNOT say any more!
