    The mufflers on my 89 Salt were carpet wrapped as well - wet & nnaassttyy. Foamless hull & carpetless mufflers - hope she won't be too loud. Guess that's what stereo's are for...

    Great job on diving in & good luck getting her back together quickly. Plants are starting to bloom after the freeze, daughter had her feet in the pool - guess it's time to get serious & finish these things!

    Thanks Sybr..question for you. Are the 5"x5"'s engine stringers attached to the main stringer that runs beside it?? I know they are glassed together but how did you attach yours on your new ones? And, whats the best way to cut the old ones off the foor?? Thanks Jet

    Typically yes, the solid portion of the engine "blocks" are glassed to the backside of the stringers and the vertical piece of ply that forms the outer edge of the bump out. I say typically because I had no "blocks" - they were hollow! You can build solid blocks by shaving a 6x6 to shape or use a 4x4 and add a layer of plywood. I built mine by stacking layers of plywood and 2x with glass between each layer - tedious, but hell for stout. Cloth, resin, & bedding material (just chopped glass and resin) are all that's holding it all together.

    A sawzall (buy lots of blades) and angle grinder with a diamond cut-off wheel worked pretty good for me. Don't forget to leave a little lip of glass from the old stringers for reference.
