Question - has anyone ever opened up the starboard or port inner bulkheads in the cockpit area? And if so, do you have any pics that could be used as a guide/template?

The port and starboard inner bulkheads of the cockpit area on my 32' sedan seem to be likely candidates for the addition of storage areas. While not overly deep, I would think that opening up sections (between the ribs) would be ideal for the creation of 2 (3?) storage bins/cabinets. The ribs would make idea support points for top & bottoms of the cabinet(s) and wood trim would cover any mounting screws on the front. Of course fabricating a storage bin/cabinet that could slide into the created recess and then having it welded into place would be an additional option.
