And I gots to tells ya...Abby does some FRIGGIN' FINE WORK!!! This is nicer than I ever thought it would be. It's the full interior package that she offers, and it's top notch!!

All of it...(the carpets are the same color, but the flash made them look different, also the bottom of the sidewalls is the same as the baggage bulkhead)

Hey, you stole my colors...wait, you're ahead of me. Looks nice - definitely want to stop by and see it in the flesh this weekend. BTW, does the carpet have the foam underbacking in panels that fit in between the stiffeners? IS Abby fairly amenable to changes/mods depending on your config (eg different cutouts in the carpet depending on a console, FI fuel pump, etc)?

Chad, that looks really nice! I like the color combination and the matching stick boots.

Come on by! If you read this this morning, I'm in the garage...

The carpet does have the foam under it. It's separate, but it comes with.

Abby was great to work with on changes. I had to have her make the carpet under the seats with a custom cut for the manual flap tunnel cover, and it was no big deal. Pics are a must though...

Chad,

Looks great! Abby is great to work with!

I still think you won the lottery and ain't telling anyone! I may add some more parts to mine later but now I am happy with the basics.

Can't wait to see pics of it all installed!

Very very nice Chad. Always good to have that extra approval from the home front as well.

Chad, that's REALLY nice. I'm envious of all you guys who are so far ahead of me. But I'll be starting on my fuselage soon!

Changed your mind on the "lightweight, breathable seatbacks" huh? Full interior looks good! Funny as it sounds, that was one of the reasons I ended up choosing an RV- I saw the factory planes at Osh '05 with the spartan interiors, and they didn't look like someplace I wanted to spend lots of cross country time. Then I saw Tony Partain's -7 and I thought "now, I can live with THIS!" 8)

I still have the seats that I built with the material you sent me. I haven't decided to tear them apart yet...may give them a try just to see, may tear them apart down the road...we'll see!

I am so pleased with this interior though, that I may just have to use it! :wink:
