Default Re: 1978 SF restoration, my first one.....

Continuing with the console. You can see how the screw holes in the flange were gouged from previous movement between the console and deck. I'm going to use 2" glass tape to reinforce the bottom of the flange and then fill in the holes with thickened epoxy.



This tape is the easiest fiberglass product I've worked with to date. Wet out very easily.





Divider wall between the forward compartment and the rear area. I've got a feeling that a subwoofer will be calling this home in the future.



Jumped back over to the top cap. I'm removing what's left of the plywood and balsa coring and preparing to reassemble. I've also marked the area of the inner liner to be cut that will form the new gunwales that will have an open bottom.







With my fuel tank ordered I cut 6 pieces of left over 3/4 " Coosa 26" long to form the slats for the fuel coffin. This picture shows the biax that was cut 42" long that will be glassed to the inside side of the stringers.



More to follow:
