I would also screw the wax paper plywood down so you get very little leakage. Check out my post(on my rebuild thread) #116 on page 3 for a better picture of what I am talking about.

Today I was able to get 1.5 oz mat (2 layers)on my fuel tank hatch as well as thickened resin with Cabosil and a layer of 1708....I used the garage floor so the hatch would not be all twisted and distorted...I am going to finish up with gelcoat or paint on the underside and get my tank installed....andthen get hatch back on.
Pictures showing the 1.5 oz mat. I ended up going with two layers. Also blocks that I coated on all sides then poly thickened with cabosil then finally 1708. -Fred

Looking good. Those squares were a good choice. I went that route on my tank cover also. I used a single piece on a previous cover and wasn't happy with the results. The one with squares and cabosil is much stiffer.
Hope you had a good screed man on that floor..Looks like your resin cup is sittin in a little duck pond. Might just be the lighting Ha Ha.

Today I got my fuel tank installed with 5200 on top of my coffin strips as well as resin soaked wood spacers between coffin and tank brackets...I attached the resin soaked wood spacers to the coffin with resin/caboil mixture. This week after work I plan on replacing fuel outlet hose and attaching tank brackets to wood strips...and getting everything attached etc.... I also placed hatch back on to see how it will fit and to get it out of the garage!!. Hatch will fit nice and flush after I screw it down and caulk the seams!! -Fred

Center console
Boring stuff....
I am starting the rehab of my center console..I have decided to move the steering wheel to the left so I can at least have my wife or son sit next to me...I used plywood coated with resin to fill the steering and throttle holes then added cabosil/resin slurry, fg mat and then my fairing compound on top of that. I did not realize how many screw holes etc were in the console until I started filling all the holes etc. I also ordered my windshield. Next step will be to finish filiing, fairing/sanding and then prime/paint. Here are some pictures thus far. -Fred

Today I was able to get two coats of 2 part high build primer on exterior of console. I complete inside of console with 1 part poly and Naptha!
I will now break out the glazing and get what imperfections are left, sand and topcoat. I achieved a great base for my topcoat with my brush only..I did not have to use the roller on the primer. I will see how top coat works out..I might just employ the roller for the top coat like I did on the hull...temps are making it ideal right now for brushing!. -Fred Last edited by fdheld34; 04-22-2012 at 08:34 PM.

Great job Fred! Who did you end up going with for your windshield and price? Also, I was noticing the footprint of your console and it looks it may have moved forward from where Potter had it originally. I would leave it where it is. Your son is always smiling in the pictures. Great memories for you guys.
