Hi Guys, sorry it's been so long. I'll post again very soon as I'm on roll right now :)
Here's a look at some progress on the bar. In the first couple of pictures you can also see a strip of metal that I was riveting to apply to the outer edge of the airplane section (it'll be distressed to look as though the plane was torn apart in a crash landing).

The front corner of the bar will be rounded and the upper level ('customer' side) of the bar top will have portholes every 1.5 ft. that are flush to the surface. You'll be able to look down into them to see lit display cases that have Hawaiian travel memorabilia.
The front edge of the bar will probably be wide bamboo with the customary rope light hidden behind it to create a nice glow.

A background behind the hula girl masthead will be painted to resemble shades of blue water with a lighting effect that looks like rising bubbles. The foot rail will be bamboo supported by carved struts.

I'll post some updated pictures of the booth and the airplane section later this week. Thanks for all the encouragement!!!
John
