Looks great. If I did my panel again I'd also mount the USB drives on the panel. Also like what you've done with the seat belts.

I suspect your head will fly off before the adel clamp breaks, I did look up the breaking strength of the 3/4” size and could not find it

[kestrel]

Is an adel clamp strong enough for mounting shoulder harnesses?

Some days as a builder you are the bug, other days you are the windshield…. Today I was the windshield

Seats… Yep
Panel… Yep
Top overhead panel… Yep

Today was really about putting things back together. Had to remove the plastic from the boot cowl, then used scotchbright followed by self etching primer in prep for reassembly.
