cigracing1,

I was over at Phil's last thursday picking up my 39 and I got a chance to take a peek at your 24 firefox and it looks like it's coming along very nicely! I love the look of the new style windscreen. I can't wait to see the finished product!

They are adding some additional vents to get some more air moving through.

I'd consider going with flat fuel fills like on the newer boats. I know you are going for a "resto-mod", but those fills are toe-killers. I can tell you this from experience. A friend had one on his older Switzer, and my foot still hurts thinking about it.

...just an opinion.

The motor is getting finished up and should be leaving for Lip-Ships in a week or so.

The boat is in paint and have no clue how long that will take.

Don't know when Phil plans on having it ready for the water.

As for the fuel caps we wanted to keep something original so thats why we went with that. I'll watch my toes.
