90 Comp rebuild

[Hagman]

The rebuild has begun. This is 7 hours of work after the cup was pulled.1995219953 My plan is to get the glass work finished in one of the new home garages we are building while the weather is warm. Also keep all of fiberglass mess away from the wife. Put to cap back on and save the rest for a winter project.

Progress has been made. Fresh stringer are installed and plywood floor is cut out and ready. I still need to glass in the ends of the stringers19988 19987

19989I'm ditching the rubber mufflers & plastic through hull exhaust fittings. They are being replaced with 3" exhaust tubing and stainless through 19990hull fittings. For the muffling there will be the guts from 2- 36" glass packs. The last owner got the exhaust a little hot at some time.

Progress is progress, looking good. i enjoy stringer threads since it's in my future.

Ditching the nylon through hulls is, in my opinion, one of the best upgrades an older Supra owner can do.

See my list in the Supra contest, General Chat from 10-10-2022. The failure almost sunk my boat.

What did it do to the rubber mufflers?

19991I'm doing this build in the garage of a new home we are building in a upper scale retirement community. It's giving all of the retirees something to talk about on there morning walks. Lots of looks and ??? I took the boat home last week. Now they are asking where it's and they want me to bring it back so that can see it when It's finished. I think I'll bring it back when
I'm finished and set it in the front yard for a cupule mornings.

19992Glassing the edges of the floor. The blue is some really good left over 1/2" plywood from a job.

1999319994Installing the foam.

1999519996The floor is glassed in one layer on the bottom and 2 layers n the top. The carpet went in on a Sunday afternoon.

1999719998It's home. Time to start the glass refinishing.

[Hagman]

19999 I went over the top with a quick compound just so I could find all of the places that need attention and see the real color for the color matching. It turns out that the light color isn't off white but the Supra light gray. There's 16 screw holes that are going to get filed in and a cupule of small chips in the gray. There's a long way to go.

What did it do to the rubber mufflers?

Hagman, visual inspection showed no damage. We checked the type of neoprene used in the construction and it has a melting temperature of significantly higher than what they would have been subjected to during the rather brief overheat. So we reused them and they have performed flawlessly.

But please see the Supra Contest thread in the General Chat to see the overheat alarm (over the exhaust manifold flextube) and the electronic bilge pump with water alarm. I will never be blindsided again by an overheat.

I'm getting close to finishing the glass repair and buffing on the cap. So fare I've filled in 42 screw holes and fix 3 chips. I want to have all of the buffing finished be for moving on the putting things back together.2000320004I filled in the screw holes for the bake vents. Not going to use the black square vent.2000520005

Ran out of 1000 Grit paper to work on refinishing the gel. So moved on to relocating the battery from the bow storage to under the passenger seat and a clean up day. 2000620007
