An interesting idea for sure.  I have considered doing this
myself.  Mods I would make would include lighter-weight cabinet
grade plywood throughout and a bit more room to remove/replace
the engine cover ('82 steel).  I would personally prefer a white
laminate finish with wood trim.

BTW David, I'm trying to hit your website and I get "Connection
Refused".  It pings OK but no access. 9:45 a.m. 4 Sep Pacific
time.
