the whole thing is bolted in place w/ stainless t nuts that are countersunk in and had to glued in prior to the glass

the last pic is a string i pulled across the top so once it was glassed the armrests were flush and not all wggily jiggilly

there is 86 lineal feet of 1708 12 inch tape on the underneath and inside the backrests.
it's strong and feels like you can sit on the armests, the backrests are gonna get filled w/ 4 pound foam once it gets here,
and i think you might be able to stand on it once it's glassed completely.

you can pick it up with 1 hand as of today, feels like 40-45 pounds so far.

in one of the pics you can see where the backrests have to get trimmed down to the original bolster height, and my upholstery guy seems to think the old back rest lightning bolt material will be good to go

i want to give a HUGE thanks to glassdave, who without his direct advice, numerous posts w/ explanations and how to's,
this project of mine would have been a crapshoot at best.
write the book dave

craney,
