i'm doing a mock engine room right now
mine is the width of the stringers 30 inches, it has transom engine stringers and fuel tank bulkhead
it's going to give me exhaust locations and drive line length, hose, electrical, hydraulic routing etc.

thats some nice work your doing there

Not bad for an average guy from ohio..... Jk, boat/engine is really coming along. Looks great so far...

[email protected] have seen some sweet ass Pantera restos, this one has got to be getting to the top! What a patient 5 years you have brought us on OSO.. Thank You! You took a 1977 body and turned it into a 2017 looking body with just the paint and paint scheme alone, without altering the body. Once you peer into the cockpit it has the old classic updated style. The 24/7 has ageless lines. Keep up the awesome work! If I was a Nunez, I would be proud.

Finally decided on a 330mm Nardi mahogany steering wheel. It's a pretty nice piece. Time will tell if it holds up. The boat will not be docked and will be stored inside, so hopefully it will:

Started the rigging on the boat this past week. Bilge is still in primer and after everything is mocked up for the final fitment, it will all come back out for all the holes to be sealed and for paint. Then on to final assembly:

Also, finished the teak floor. This was a major project, but came out really cool and period correct:

Finally got the helm/console installed and some hydraulic lines and the main wiring harness to the engine/bilge in:
