Extreme Make Over CSC Edition

[NoBones]

Finally had a little free time to spend on the project
this weekend.
Down to some through hull fittings and bow rail stands
yet to come off.



Right now it is a down bridge...


Windows also removed


Cut out's for the old A/C



Access cover removed.
Thinking about leaving vent boxes in
for the old I/O's to let the inner hull breathe
since I'm going with a bracket.


Window frames are going to be a challenge as they are
welded with no way to replace the cording and weather
stripping. Going to check with American Marine Inc. if they can help me restore these.
They were just getting started in business when this boat
was made in 1968.. Keep your fingers crossed for me.


Teak door sanded and oiled up!
First piece of project completed.. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I think the Emblems maybe salvagable. Back in the day
there were re-chrome guys all over the place.
Now-a-days you have to look real hard to find one!


More later, Ken

Awesome boat with the the partial top removed it kinda looks like a 27 beast of a seafari! That would be awesome.. Amazing job cant wait to see it finished!

Withdrawal setting in.

Yeah, me too.....
This 6 acre patch I reside at needs attention big time
in the spring!
Stupid me I should have left it ala natural, but I didn't.
The whole weekend was consumed with mowing, edging, weed wacking, grading road, pressure cleaning soffit and driveways and on and on...
Now the Manta Rays are showing up... sooooo the NoBones will be going into full operational mode.
Hope to be back on it in a week or two!
I have sent the Compass to ITT for rehab and the windows
are being rehabed as well.
Just the small stuff, but it all adds up in the end.

Hang in there, It is killing me too!


See ya, Ken
