    Glen's toys

    I got a neighbor around here that is one of the coolest guys I ever met. His name is Glen S. and hes a Vietnam vet. He builds some crazy stuff and his house is like a museum. I used to not care much about his outboard cause they are SO old, but when I post pics of his stuff on Instagram people seem to like it. So I figured I'd post some of his build up here to se what y'all think. He doesn't get on the computer much aside from Ebay and aeroliner and some other classic motor sites. Anyway, heres a few pictures as a tribute to Glen.

    **not my builds**

    Oh yea, and I forgot to mention, everything Glen builds runs PERFECT and most stuff gets new/rebuilt ignition components, fuel system reconfigure/upgrade, new rings and new pistons when needed.

    Super intricate work.

    Not a motor restoration, but Glen built this stainless hard top from scratch by hand with a hacksaw and a tig. No grinder, no band saw...all by hand. No plans, just his great mind. The fiberglass top he raided from a dying fiberform, trimmed it and carpeted it.
