Wellcraft Nova Spyder Destruction/Reconstruction

[26 Spyder]

Finally got around to cutting the gauge holes.....
I covered the panel with a large piece of masking paper to protect it.
Then I could draw out different layouts until I found one I liked.
I screwed the panel to a piece of wood to hold it secure while drilling. The wood gives a solid surface to hold on to and helps guide the hole saws...

The remaining pieces from the cutouts will make neat fender washers!! May use them in the cabin or somethere...
