Guys,

This is the door on my O-58A, the plane left the factory November, 1941 with Bedford Cord seats and side panels. the mahogany rub strip on the window seal got two coats of clear sanding sealer per the drawing. The O-58A is the lightest of the L-3s but will still come in heavier than the L-4. The plane should look pretty nice inside when I am done, it reminds me of an old 30's car inside.

The areas around the rear windows will be corduroy and the rear shelf is mahogany with sanding sealer. Panel and floor boards are OD, controls and pedals are gloss black.
