Thanks Mark
 

Mark,

Your right, they are through bolted. Quite the challenge. Going to shop again Friday to try to figure out a way to get them off the boat.

Keep you posted. Thanks for the response.

Jeff

I believe to get to the cleats thru bolts, you take out the lower side panel to so you can reach up in the gunals by the dash and foreward cabin bulkhead.

Jeff did you get them out ??? Bud

Cleats Not out yet
 

Not yet Bud. Tackling first thing tomorrow morning, I will keep you posted. Thanks for the tips guys. Wish me luck!

Small cleats
 

If you have the inside vinyl panel off,you should be able to reach it with an extension. Bud

She will be better looking than my Magnum Force...hope to see you at the reunion. Bud

Love how correct it is...the tall windshield is neat.

:)

The project looks fantastic! I want to have my outdrives re-painted. Did you refinish them yourself?

Update on Maltese Resto
 

A few more Pics. Outdrives just about complete and first fitting of new windshield. Also, lots of new chrome including the step pads, which turned out great. Once again can't thank my father enough for leading the project, could not be happening without him. Thanks bro!
