I land MOST of the time on grass with my 6:00X6 tires inside "streamlines"....(wheelpants because REAL planes wear the PANTS! Woosie planes need oversized tenderfeet tires.)

The plane did not have a glove box back in the mid 80's when John T. Owned it . I built the box and door for him using the one in our 170 for a pattern. Was a no-brainer.
