All floors replaced with original (WW2) Douglas factory plywood / balsa wood panels and FAA approved rubber mat cover. All the material for the interior come with the airplane, seats ready for cover, all that is needed is a sewing machine. USAF insulation for the walls. Aft "stewardess station" is original from a 1940 Air Canada Lodestar. Doors, trays, drinks holder, etc; really cool. Possibly it's the only one in existence. The original toilet all there with sink, needs installation. Nine seats for a spacious cabin, oven for front of spar. A first rate passenger cabin can be completed with what is there, wood work complete.
