Not much progress has been made on the abrams interior, but some of you have asked how its going so I thought I would put up a few pics. Since the last update I have added the computer tray, circuit breaker box, and a hydraulic manifold to the floor. It has taken about 8-9 hours of work so far, so the finished product will probably run around 100 hours or so at a guess, including painting and weathering. Not to terrible, but still a lot. I have a lot of work to do, so I will see you all later.

Looking good Rob.
I am sure you are soon to be faced with a dilema, on which faced me a couple weeks ago.
After doing so much work on the interior, how do you ensure that it is visible?
Good luck with that one.
