    [QUOTE=SCT;2928329]Tom, you are becoming quite the carpenter! Do you like it better than glass work?
    Good luck-[/QUOTE

    GLASS WORK AND WORKING WITH GLASS CAN BE AS MESSY AS YOU WANT IT TO BE!! Some people are just plain messy with everything they do ,while other aren't and they are rare to find Can always find the messy workers !! they are the ones wearing the most safety gear !while the non messy guys only wear gloves and hardly even get them dirty !!
    Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!

    Had a day break and dove back into the tunnel. Go the dash finished and installed including wood mounting blocks. Installed the rear steering shaft support and did a good fit check on the shaft and both support bearings. Also checked the wheel for placement to the proposed seat location. Turns very smooth and very tight.

    also did a bit of sanding and started applying the second coat of west system inside the rear cockpit area. Laying out really nice.

    been on hold for a while due to family issues, but getting back on track now. Original trailer sandblasted, painted with good two part epoxy primer and getting a couple of fresh coats of Mercury Blue.
