Finally splashed my project and came up with a small list of things that need ironed out. The biggest concern on my list is the steering. It steers fine at idle but as I increase the throttle it increases stiffness of steering. It gets a little bit better after finding a sweet spot of trim...

Actually, it was my second one ever. Last one was when I was 17 on my second car. With that said, it was pretty easy. Took me about 2hrs. The kit I bought did not have a gasket for between the intake and the carb. It took me about 30 minutes to set the float, I had a hard time figuring...

IT's been a long time since posting so I figured I should update everyone as to what I have been doing lately. I dug into the wiring and ended up replacing a good portion on the connectors and replaced and wires that had been cut/spliced. Built myself a makeshift engine cover and then took...

Ok disregard the sending unit post! I took itout cleaned it up and cleaned the contact point for the sending wire and ground. hooked it up and manually moved it up and down, works fine. Its off a bit, shows just a bit below full, and exactly empty on the guage. Thats close enough for me!

So, anyone have any sources for fuel sending units? I figure I might as well get ahead of the game just in case!

Update! I haven’t fell off the earth, or abandon the project! I actually have been lurking around the forums, and planning my new method of attack for this spring. I decide to start with tearing the tank out and getting all the water/fuel mixture out of the tank. While I am letting it sit and...

The bolt is placed in the highest location on the shift lever. I am just going to put a new cable on, hopefully I can get a hand this weekend and try to do it then. Thanks for all the help.

I kinda feared that, but I also figured that'd be the popular answer! I pretty much planned on a new cable just for no other reason just to be safe. One of those" if I don't ill regret it later deals" Thanks all for your help, ill be be headin to the marina friday to get the cable kit...

So the cable seems to move about the same but it seems like I have to give it an extra little umph to hit drive when I do I by hand. Maybe its just me trying to duplicate a firm shift. Not sure. But I can adjust it to either or. Either everytime hitting forward or reverse. So maybe I am to the...

While I am waiting for some more materials for the restore I started working on the mechanical aspect... Background: Before last night I was unable to get the outdrive into Forward gear, so I began adjusting the cables. I started with the lower unit cable and adjusted the barrel to 6" on...

I have 2 pics of her from the outside, but they are under tarp. If was from early this spring. I'll try to remember to take a few this evening. Take a look at old skool's. Its identical, only his looks much better! Mine is still pretty rough as it need a good buffjob. My plans are to...

Next steps are: -Seal up the underside of the floor with resin. -Install the 2x2's to screw the floor to and then recoat everything that has touched the stringers again in resin -Spray paint Hull/stringers. -Install foam pieces. -Install flooring, PL glue it down and to level edges then glass...

Testing my cutting/measuring skills.

I know you cant se a whole lot, but I just took these real quick this morning. I didnt add them earlier because my new workstation just came in at work and I wanted to get this beast set up so I could play! This gives you an idea though... I need to do some serious cleaning!

FInally finished up late last night. 11:30 to be exact. It was way to hot to work on it before 8pm so I worked under the lights! I have a toal of about 8hrs in glassing in the stringers. I have used just shy of 3 gal of resin so far. That does include coating the stringers and all other...
