How did you do to get them to cut it to fit your boat? How much did it cost?

Bruce Jones is doing the restoration. He ordered and cut it. He usually makes a template before he cuts any pieces for the boat due to their odd shapes.

Not sure on price but I think he said about 250 per sheet.

For anyone following this I posted in a couple other places but I need the transom drill jig for the SSM3 drives so we can re cut the transom. I will buy or rent however anyone want to do it.

Today was the first time Bruce has actually *****ed about the boat. He said taking the tank out was completely miserable.

We are hoping the duel fill idea will actually work . We are also trying to decide whether to transfer fuel from the front tank to the back or have the engines pull from either tank.
How would you do the transfer between tanks? I am trying to figure away to run off my bow tank and transfer the fuel from the back tank to the bow in my Pantera.

We are going to run a transfer pump from the bow tank to the main tank. Engines will only pull from main tank. We have a couple unused fittings on the main tank that we can dump fuel into. The only real thing that can be a problem is pumping too much fuel into the tank and having it blow out the vent.

thanks for kind words but I can't take credit. Bruce has spent over 2 weeks in the bilge. He sent me the pictures today of starting the bodywork because he said he had to take a couple of days off from the bilge. I'll try to find the pictures of the new coosa tiles he installed to add strength to the hull, make the engine bay drain properly and to get a nice smooth finish.
