<div> - There is a rectangular cutout in the=
lower front of the seat base that cannot be seen. Part of=
a plan<br></div>
<div> to temporarily use the seat=
for a testbed cockpit.<br></div>

<div> -Holes have been cut into the bottom to=
permit access to the wingnuts and bolts that hold the keel=
together. <br></div>
<div> This was part of a plan that would=
have had the deck and consoles epoxied into place=
permanently,<br></div>
<div> preventing access to these=
attach points.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>Bolts together okay. Adequately sturdy. Thick=
fiberglass in most locations.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>There are a number of the usual scratches and marring that=
go along with being moved around from storage location to=
storage location over the course of the past 1 1/2 <br></div>
<div>years. I always intended to paint it, so never worried=
about that.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>I still have the hacked up side consoles and bottom deck,=
which in the right hands may still be useful. <br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>At $300, I am cutting my losses - even if only=
partially. I want a more open cockpit like Todd Ferrante's=
at this point - still very Viper, but more accessible and, after=
7 <br></div>
<div>years working on one pit or another, a more short term=
solution to my simming needs.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>All sales final, cash only on pickup, Paypal for delivery=
within 50 miles. Costs over 50 miles negotiable up to a=
maximum of 100 miles. NO SHIPPING OPTION.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>As Mike W. said, I have more gears that an 18 wheeler, and=
shift 'em about as often. This offer may be withdrawn at=
any time, and I get wicked creative on the <br></div>
<div>weekends - part of brain fatigue after a long week=
programming. Fair warning!! ;-)<br></div>
