PO - that's right . . . except don't forgot to factor in the original floor thickness which I beleive is approx 3/4". So new floor and old floor should be a wash.

Strick I got the pics - Awesome!!!! I'll give you a call later this afternoon.

Re: stringer pieces in place.
 

A little more progress on the stringers. She still needs a bath and a good grinding to clean her up . . . but stringers are now level from front to back and side to side.

Tim It's hard to tell on the black tube. Did you run it thru the tablesaw so that it will be a upside down "U" ?

Re: stringer pieces in place.
 

not yet warthog . . . It's just being stored there. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] everything is a little shiney from the rain this morning.

Re: stringer pieces in place.
 

Tim,
What is the black plastic tube for??

How are you going to run your gas filler hose and cables/wiring with the floor sitting on level stringers??
Is there a groove in the top I can't see??

Otherwise looks great, you have done a very good job, do you ever come around Jersey [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: stringer pieces in place.
 

Pat - The black tube is puddied in and covered with a few layers of glass. It will allow drainage from front to back and add additional support for the fuel tank.

The plan is to make the grid . . . which should resemble the pic from the mosley article.

To run the cables . . . I'm going to glass a pipe to the bottom of the fuel hatch cover. The wires will be snaked through that and come up inside the console. Towards the back . . . I'll cut hole through the stringers and glass in a section of PVC or ABS plastic, so the cables can come up through the bulkhead into the splashwell. You can see the notched fuel tank in some of the pics . . . That's where the pipe will fit.

Fuel Fill and overflow will be mounted on the console.

I love jersey . . . but I haven't been back there since I broke up with the x-girlfriend.

Looking good Tim. You are making fast progress [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Here's a few pics after a good time with a makita grinder!!!
The MDF in the middle is my mold for the fuel tank support.

Still have some more puddy work and then it'll be time for two layers of glass over the stringer tops.

Great job buddy,

The worst part of seeing your project, strick's, and Warthog's is realizing there were so many easier and often better ways I could of done my project......Maybe in a few years I will have to do another.
