I made up some ground this week while i was off for spring break. I started off the week concentrating on my tank coffin. First, i measured and cut out a couple of bulkheads for the front and rear of the tank.





Then i glassed them over with a layer of 1708 and poly resin





Once everything cured, i trimmed the fiberglass slats to size and gave everything a test fit






i painted the bottom of the bilge, then tabbed the slats and the bulkheads into place






Once everything had cured, i finished painting the bilge







I laid out all my hatches and sanded down to 320






Mid-week i got a call from Andy Bloodsworth that my fuel tank was ready to be picked up. I can't speak highly enough of his work. I will post a few pics of the tank so you can see the quality of the welds. This tank is 3/16" and will hold 50 gallons of fuel.









Back to work in the shop i setup a small poor mans paint both so that i could spray all of my hatches





The paint im using on this project is made by EPIFANES. It's a single part monourethane paint.





I sprayed the edges of all the hatches with 2 coats sanding in between with a 320 grit paper





I taped off the hatches to prepare for non skid. I am using a product called KIWIGRIP, in white
