I'm at the point with my project where I needed to get the interior built.
I started with Steve (Sands on S&F) who got me measurements on the individual panels that make up the front and rear seat frames. As he was delivering his Virage from Texas to Idaho, would get me the last minute measurements. From this, I was able to draw up a blueprint.
Lately, a friend Garrett Gablehouse bought a Virage turbo from the original owner and we were able to go back over the original measurements. Trying to push thru the upholstery to feel the joints and get accurate numbers was a challenge.
I realized one sheet of 1/2" plywood would make both front buckets and a second sheet would do the rear.
These are the initial blueprints I started with.
These are the pieces that make up the front seat.
The head rest in this pict is 2" taller than it should be. It was trimmed later on.
I made patterns from the front seat panels.
Resin coated (primed) to seal wood from moisture.
The modified splash well is ready for gelcoat.
Got a modified bulkhead made that will be fully glassed on both sides to the hull and deck.
Both sides of bulkhead were glassed and trimmed before glassing into boat.
And made a panel that will get upholstered to cover the bulkhead.
Mike at Stitchworks 1 mile down the road said $1500.00 to stitch up everything just like the factory did.
Heading back down in late January to install gauges, and install interior.
