Gluing up a foam mold for the curved part of the seat will cover in plastic and mold release before putting fiberglass over it. More info in next post, for now I'm stuck watching drills charge and glue dry...

Getting the steering column fitted. Next is the cowling to cover the metal bits. Realized I have to do this part before fiberglassing so it can all be one solid layer.

Work continues apace, but there's still lots to do and the daily temps are 100+ right now. 😀

This chopped strand mat is going to drive me insane. It's like working with sticky flimsy fabric.

One side done with filler on to the other. Pictures of me on the wave runner for size comparison.
