Good to see it coming together Steve, budgets and time frames... i had them once... the Tiger was on schedule until Richy hacked it up, set me back 2 years as its harder to make something right once its F'd up and takes twice as long and costs 3 times as much. also did 9 years on the 20. the key is just do what you want, you will enjoy it more in the long run and do it RIGHT the first time.

All water hoses replaced today.
You can see that every nut, bolt & fitting in the bilge are still like new.
Fresh water and little use = like new!

Thanks LS Jr for getting the pics for me as I sit at home during this situation we have.

Old material removed...

Valmir Upholstery In Pompano Beach FL.
He has done all my work for years and is a Master at his craft
When I restored 2 older Ferrari's he did the Interiors and they looked as good as when they were new.
He also made the covers for the last 2 Cigarettes and will be making me the new Cockpit & Bow cover

back to this whole budget thing which I am way over on... what happened to the old headers you chose not to use? (Hopefully sold for my bank accountant health hahaha)
