couple tricks of the trade if you dont already know them. When you bundle up with sweatshirts or whatever to grind, tape your sleves and dump a bunch of talcum baby powder down your arms and back. This helps to keep it from getting to your skin. If it does make it in and your itching when your done take a straight cold shower from start fo finish, do not add any hot water for the duration (actually not as bad as ya think). This actually works pretty well if ya can stand the cold. I go through cases of tyvek suites and talc, another thing i like to use for heavy all day grinding sessions are those two piece rain suites you can get at Meijers or Walmart. Fun stuff . . . .

Thanks Dave that info got to me in time for the next grinding session this Saturday. I'm trying to get work accomplished so a I can have minimal grinding sessions. I bought a work jumpsuit I will duct tape it up real good. Thanks again...

Sam Once again thanks for the assistance finding a cuddy door. Still needing the upper hatch closure. Please keep an eye out for it. Are there any parts that you are or will be looking for? If so let me know I'm all over the place looking for thing that I will need. I have a couple of stock Quicksilver throttle setups, If I remember yours was damaged and all apart.

Facelift
Hey folks, I apologize for my extended absence and lack of updates to my 260 Facelift thread. Anyway I'm got things taken care of and am back to my Operation 260 Facelift project. I still plan on having her back in the water for Memorial Day weekend at Silver Glen, Fla. Here are a couple pics of the cuddy going back together. What isn't visible is the conduit I ran under the deaking to pull the electrical & speaker wiring. I will post more pics as the completion of the cuddy progresses.
