My intention is to use 3 ply mahogany aviation plywood finished with a water based
product "The Good Stuff". Steinair recommended to place a silicone fabric
between the plywood and the aluminum to prevent the plywood from cracking due
to temperature expansion differences. Your panel looks great it has character
and nostalgia.

Ken:
How thick a ply? Three score sounds weak... Aviation ply's that I have
used are 5 and 7 score. Keeping the scores high and the ply's thin will
give strength and the gauges will not be recessed too far.

Barry;
The plywood is my rendition of a finish for the aluminum panel in place of paint
or perhaps even powder coat. My intention was not to use the plywood as a substitute
for the aluminum panel. I find the plywood easier to handle than the
veneer, a matter of personal preference.

I don't think it matters very much what paint you use on the instrument
panel itself. Glare on the panel is not really a problem. I would use a
semi-gloss or duller rather than a gloss (a gloss is harder to patch, in
any case). But what DOES matter is to have the top of the turtle deck
above the panel a semi-gloss or flat (not very flat - it is too hard to
clean). Then, glare is not a problem. I am attaching a picture showing
what I mean.

That is understood Ken, I did not think otherwise. Matter of fact replacing
the aluminum with would is not allowed. It would not meet kit design.
And I agree 100% with the idea of plywood as an overlay. The veneer has
many expansion and contraction issues - Very easy to crack and split. Even
with the cloth backing as mentioned. The cloth will bring in its own
problems - Holding moisture in contact with the aluminum and wood.
Did you check out 5 and 7 score plywood as mentioned? They usually come
with a VERY nice top sheet of A or AA grade Beach. It stains or
paints extremely well.

Looking for William M. Clapp of Valdosta, GA. I handled a shipment for him out
of Waco, TX to Valdosta, GA on 7/29/2011. He agreed to pay $2680 for the shipment
within 30 days and has not paid as of today 9/20/2011. He does not answer
his calls (229-834-8996 or 229-232-4531), I get voice mail and I leave messages.
I have e-mailed him and again have gotten no responses. The trucking company
has already been paid (by me) and I really need my money...I run a small
business.
Please help me locate him...
