My end result today was the instrument panel painted a matte black. There were many small tasks that consumed my day. While the instrument panel was install I ran the heater control cable, cut the necesary access hole and trimmed it to length. I also got all of my fittings pulled together and planned the job to install my second AHARS. I REALLY wish I would have done this along with my initial install. It would have been a piece of cake with the top skin removed. Now I will have to go into the bowels of the empennage.
