    You are really making some progress. How long have you been working on this? There are so many restorations going on right now I can't keep track. And what kind of paint are you using on the cap?

    Looks like some great progress - it's taken me a year to get where you are in 4 months, but I'm flying solo.

    Stringers look great! That blue looks like the one Saltare Inverts used on his awhile back before he traded up. Can't wait to see how she all comes together.

    Solid Motor Sports out of Sherman, TX- drilled holes into the floor, injected new foam into the floor, and then recapped the holes and glassed over. We are toying with the possibility of double glassing the floor surface, gel coating it, and making it a non skid carpet/floor...where I could unsnap the carpet and take it out to wash/replace and also be able power wash the floor.

    other pic is of Freshly rebuilt engine (which will be painted red and black) with brand new coupler and brand new drive shaft with dripless packing installed, and brand new prop.

    Looking really good!! The foam is a controversial topic. I replaced it when I rebuilt mine (more for support of the floor than anything else) but if I did it again, I don't think I would.

    the only thing I'm curious about is... did you not fiberglass or CPES the bottom of the floor? the plugs that came out look awfully raw on the bottom!
