How long till she gets wet do you think?

Does the morning dew count?. Hopefully the middle to end of may she will be in the water.

LOVE THAT COLOR !!! Can,t wait to see it in the water. Did you get your valve cover problem taken care of.

 

[yellowfiero88]

I got the new valve covers and header flanges but have not tried anything yet. It is supposed to rain the next 3 days so....... I hope to get the engine assembled all the way if the parts work.

Boat looks great, this is one of my favorite threads. Would love to see a big pic of the boat on the trailer.

double that ! outside the garage in daytime !

 

[yellowfiero88]

I know! I had to run it back to the garage last night because it was supposed to start raining in the middle of the night. I am getting it back out mid week and finish the engine bay. I still have some of the balsa core exposed in the engine compartment that has been drying out all winter. I am kinda amazed that the balsa got hard again after drying out. Might make it a little hard removing the water damaged parts of it.

I am prob going to run down and pick it up tomorrow. Crap weather today and did nothing but lay around. Got to love the rainy day pains

 

[SurfGreenTelecaster]

Man, that's awesome! Love the lime green. So can you drive it past the douche's house that sold it to you and rub it in his face?

 

[yellowfiero88]

Thanks. LOL not unless I drive 10 hours each way to MD!

 

[SurfGreenTelecaster]

Haha! Yeah, I guess that would be overkill...unless you're George Costanza - NY to Cleveland just to zing a guy.

 

[yellowfiero88]

Got some more done today. New hide away bow light.

Pull up cleats.

Started the exhaust tips also. Alot of fun drilling a 4" hole when there is already a 3" hole there. I will finish up the exhaust tips tomorrow, paint the alpha transom assembly, polish up the windshield and get it mounted hopefully tomorrow.

And for those who asked,

 

[hotdaddy27]

You will have nice weather this weekend, so keep up the good work!

I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[yellowfiero88]

Started on the windshield with 320 and went up to 600. Then with my little buffer and some mothers brought it all back to a near perfect shine. I also painted the top frame and the inside of the frame. I still want to tint the glass a little darker so that it blends well.

Also got the other exhaust tip installed.

Got some motor work done also.

Even got everything to clear!

Also got the winch, front roller, and finished the welding on the trailer. I want to get the springs replaced tomorrow and install the bearing buddys before it rains tuesday.

That's one sweet looking boat, great job!!! How about a video when you get the boat wet for the first time.
