I am doing all of the mechanicals to the boat this season and over the winter plan on the cosmetics.

plans include -

3 man bolster - has to go - I hate it
fairing to replace where windshield was - none on the boat now
topside paint
old style script decals
etc.

Chris - I am restoring a 28 as well. I already had the fairing made. It turned out really well. The boat is right in Baltimore if you want to measure or see how it looks. I'm building a new flat hatch with Pro-Stock scoops, so the existing aluminum blower hatch is just sitting if you know anyone who wants one.

I'm doing supercharged smallblocks with XR Platinums.

Keep me posted, Barry

Hi Christian - I'm going to buy a set of 177's. If I remember correctly yours are 144's? If someone asks me, how much do you want for them?

OC Barry,
It sounds like you are putting together a great project as well. I would be curious to see how you built the fairing. I plan on building it out of 1" decolite, faired, painted and capped with a padded top rail. Does yours follow the dimensions of the stock windsheild ?

Fairing & single bolsters
 
Chris - We went old school and built the fairing out of 1/8" aluminum plate. I made removable top caps which my upholstery guy is padding and covering. Yes, it follows the contour VEE of the windshield, kind of like an old Fountain raceboat. A few years back I made a fiberglass fairing for my old 34' Coyote and I just found that the aluminum was much quicker and it's a nice looking fairing as well.

By the way, I went the other direction and built a three-man standup bolster, so I will sell you the two single bolsters I took out really cheap; like $200 for the pair.
