    I'd do everything you can that you won't want to reach up into tight spaces to do later. Yeah, I have quite a few pics of the front. I'll look tonight and send post some.

    Not much progress of late, but I was able to get the transom pieces bedded in tonight.




    More importantly...I think in 99.99% done grinding!!!

    All the stringers are glued in!




    I wasn't happy with how the transom pieces set up using the vinyl ester thickened as glue, so I yanked them out and will re-bed them with epoxy.

    Most of the fillets are done, but I ran out of cabosil but will have another 5qt delivered next week and will wrap up the fillets.

    Get ready to put yer seatbelt on. Once you get those glassed in stuff will start happening more quickly. Flooring is a piece of cake in comparison. Install the engine and drop the top. Clean up some interior stuff....rubrail...splashdown!

    Alright, so it's been quite a while....I'll try to catch everyone up.

    Progress on the glass has been super slow on account of the weather and no garage. Luckily (i guess) we've only had snow/ice 3-4 times so far that has required me to go out and knock the snow off the tarp roof. With the weather as cold as it has been, I've moved some of the glass work indoors. All that's left is some final floor supports.


    Box of parts is growing arms and legs... included somewhere in all this mess is:

    Edebrock intake
    Barr exhaust manifolds
    Indmar exhaust risers
    DUI distributor
    Glide Seals Strut bearing
    Glide Seals Dripless
    probably 20 things I'm forgetting



    Fair amount Still left to procure
    Dash gauges - existing ones were cracked and shot.
    bilge pumps - going with two
    upholstery upgrades
    Tower - maybe for this season
    Bimini - maybe for this season
    etc..


    Engine is looking good, finishing up intake, accessories pulleys etc.
    Still need to figure out the oil pan - have another thread going on with it

    Looking good Coose. Once you can get back into it seriously, it'll really start coming together quickly. The hardest part is just to get going - especially when it's cold.

    Looks like some good progress and prep. I agree, once the cold isn't a factor and you get going, it should move quick.
