Hey rlhahn. I found a old email on 5/25/11 in my inbox, I dont know how I missed it. But I thought I would see how yours is going? Any new pics? Im at a standstill..summer is way to busy, kids, business, and wakeboarding! lol. 1/2 of my floor is out (left side) and I have the wood ready to go back in. Im kind of stuck on how to do the engine mounts?? But I have been stock pilling new parts, steering wheel, stereo $$, roswell bar$$, hlcd's, sub, leds, speaker rings, bimini, auto ballast, 2-batteries. Im not going to want to sell this thing when Im done. lol. I will take pictures as I go along but just no time in the last 2-months..Im upset.

if you could would you provide a list of materials you used? i am about to start on a sim project and am trying to make several decisions. Details on wood type, resin types, cloth and a ball park figure on how much you used of everything would be awesome.
Ben, I got my 1986 Supra Comp off Craigslist for $1200. It was loosing oil pressure after 10min or so of running. My brother-n-law and I pulled the motor and took it apart to find a bad cam and scratches in the piston sleeve. He rebuilt the whole thing and I built him a new pullbarn $$$labor trade. The demo is cheap. You'll need to buy some sanding and grinding material. I used an orbital sander and grinder. 80grit discs and pads $40. Lumber for new stringers and floor is cheap if you cover it in resin. 4 yellow pine 2x10's and 4 4x8x3/4 plywood $160. I used subfloor glue and sawdust for a filler $10. I used around five gal. of 3m resin for the whole project and around 80sq ft of fiberglass $280 ( Lowes or H.D.) Carpet 218sqft marine $150, exterior carpet glue $10 (Lowes). That's about it for your basic stringer and floor repair. I am redoing everything in the boat though, so the list is longer for me. if you need any kind of online help or advice just drop me a line. Good Luck!!!

New backing plates and concrete board fiberglassed in the stern. Now it's good-to-go.
NICE!! Keep up the good work!
Just got my motor back in this weekend, it sure feels good to start putting things back together vs pulling them further apart! lol
