Front & rear seat backs and rear seat bottom & misc

DETAIL:

Been working on the front and rear set backs and bottoms.  I'm using 1/4" Okoume 6566 marine ply.  I'm taking my time so that the seat backs and bottoms fit perfectly against longerons and sides as I do not want any gaps if I can avoid them.  Remember, the cockpit is what people really look at and your workmanship really shows. 

As soon as the seat backs are in place and finished I'll put the 3mm ply sides on.  Then the 1/4" floor will go on.  After that it'll be on the gear within no time!
