You have your work cut out for you. There have been some amazing project boats on this page; which only means that you have the right audience for questions. Best of luck.

I haven't posted in awhile, but have been getting some things done. I replaced all the wood seat backs and bottoms as well as the side trim pieces. I rebuilt the carb last weekend and put it back together. I turned it over and it didn't fire, so I cleaned the corroded points in the distributor and BANG, she kicked right off and ran. I got all the interior back from a local uphulsterer and it turned out really nice. I am planning on getting the floor pieces cut and glassed in this weekend. After the floor is in, then the plan is to CleanCleanClean, buff and polish, and recarpet. Then its lake time. Here are a few more pics. Sorry you have to click the links, the pictures are too large for this forum to host. try this link

Had a great weekend layin glass! With the help of an experienced boat builder I was able to get the floor in today. Since we did a patch job, rather than the complete floor, we attached the plywood 'shelf' under the existing floor where the new pieces would but up. Everything went together well and is solid. There's only one picture of the rear pieces in place, and it doesn't yet have the top layer of glass. We would have finished all pieces (middle two removable pieces) if I would have had enough resin. Should have all floor finished by midweek, then its time to clean and carpet. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about our work. Thanks for looking!

And the upholstery was done by a local guy that usually does hot rods and stuff. I talked him into doing it since I took care of all the wood work and stripping of old upholstery. Total cost was $1100, which I think is about average for as many pieces as there were.

1100 is a steal.. Im still paying to get my interior done and im past 1700.. probally going to be 3k when said and done.. but he did build the rear seat back up and front open bowl
