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

Still sanding and fairing the console. I decided to start work on the radial transom cap and started building the mold out of some 2 x 12's and hardi board. Still in the garage but hopefully it will warm up soon.



From Strick's post "Here we go again" I've gotten plenty of ideas for this including the sculpting compound to use.



I started the layup and used 2 layers of 1.5oz matt, 2 layers of 1708 and a layer of woven roven. After I get the fit right I plan on coring it with either coosa or divinycell where the rod holders will be installed.





Breaking the mold. Almost like Christmas morning!!





It's not perfect but I definitely think I'll be able to get it to work out.
