[Rhodes22-list] construction questions

[Dennis Frappier]

My '74 Rhodes rebuild had the interior removed before I bought it.  The
Cabin aft bulkhead was loose and I have removed a 5 gal pail of the foam
chips in order to get the bulkhead back in place.  There is about 1 inch of
space above the bulkhead till where the fiberglass cockpit starts that I
will but the chips back under the cockpit floor.  Then I will put a small
scab onto the bulkhead to keep them from coming forward into the cabin area.


Sincerely,

Dennis Frappier, Maine

I'm hoping to gain some knowledge about how Rhodes are put together.  I
spent Saturday cleaning out my project Rhodes and getting staged to really
get at it.  I have a few questions I'm hoping you all can help me answer.

1)  Is the deck cored?  When I walk on the deck it flexes some.  Is this
natural flexing or... do I have a soft core that I need to fix?

2)  I'd like to replace the foam under the cockpit.  Any tricks for getting
that out without removing the deck?  Has anyone ever removed the deck on
their Rhodes.  I know people do that from time to time but.... it seems like
more work that it is worth.
