Valve covers and air cleaners are done! What a difference! I loved the black and silver engines but the color really makes them pop! :evilb:

Yes it's February and I am outside working on the boat, 31 degrees for a high today but the sun helped a bit :)

Started mocking up a space for some more gauges, a glove box and a flush mounted gps!!

The one for this summer will be made out of lexan or starboard and will be the template for next winters project to replace the windshield With a fiberglass windscreen! Yes I am already planning next years projects :D

A couple not so good phone pics!

I have followed this thread from the beginning and I have to say, it has been such an encouragement for the little things I have gotten done on mine. Thanks so much for sharing, you have done an awesome job!

Thanks man! One of the reasons I post pics is to encourage! What kinds of things have you done to yours?

Wow, this really motivates me to get back to work on mine!! I am going to be redoing my engine hatch on mine myself!! What wood did you use, and where did you purchase that fiberglass and resin? Thanks
Sam

I used 3/8 plywood for the deck surface and red oak for the frame on the bottom side. I then ordered the biaxial mat and the resin from Fiberglasssite.....http://www.fiberglasssite.com/servlet/StoreFront

Great site, fast service!

2 layers of biaxial mat on on each side. Once dry I supported the cover on the edges and had me and my buddy (combined weight - 390lbs.) stand on it and it didn't flex at all! Rock solid!!

Thanks for the info!! I will use them when I re-do mine. Keep up the great work on the project!! :)
