My picture hosting site is screwing up. I got the hump in 4 console mounts. To deal with the console not fitting right. It is all over the internet on that one. I made and bent a new trans hump. Make it match the console.
I got the tar paper sound deadening. People kill me i was reading on it. They crying nothing holds it down it is garbage bla bla bla. Wow these guys are just no talents. Went in easy peasy, And i giggled as I read them crying. wow how did you get the old out. Seems to me you don't meed nothing to keep it in. It will attach all by its self over time. Carpet is in ad I letting it just lay. It is the moulded stuff so it fits real well. Got weights on the floor helping it relax in. While it is doing its thing I am fooling with the seats on the workbench. This gonna take a while. Wow they nasty inside. Clean and paint the wires then reassemble. Anyway it is my thing to do again. Off the back burner. I will post pics once the internet straightens out. |

Anyway I got one seat bottom cleaned up and painted working on the top now. Wow it is nasty dusty like opening a Egyptian pyramid.
I was reading how this was a issue for everyone the way the silly console sat. So I made my own 4 braces to hook it to. Made a false trans tunnel so it is sitting on the floor again. I going to let the carpet just lay in there while I fool with the seats. I am going to my brothers to get a bucket of hog rings and he got left over burlap. If I need more it is cheap enough at JoAnns where I got the boat interior materials. Still plugging along. I was teasing my wife wont be long it will need tires. Those on it came off my van 10 years ago because the belts separated and they were leaking through the tread. I don't think they gonna hold up to a 700 hp burn out. Or what ever this pig ends up having. Site days only 6 images so the other 3 be in a post by themselves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yesterday I cleaned up the bows and tackless and painted them. Today I put in the tackless I got. I am missing one piece and am waiting for it. Ebayed it. Got the insulation glued in. I got the headliner in hanging by the bows. Enough fun for one day. My back seat material is on the way now. And the a pillar pads. I need to do bodywork and paint the headliner side mouldings. I will start making sail panels next. Kill the time I got to wait. Then continue trim in the carpet it is about time. It is laying in pretty good. I got a bunch to do left as anyone who has done this knows. Goal is spring boat weather. I think I be done long before it gets warm. Pull the motor back out go back to building that thing.
