Does your guages have the square looking U-clamp to hold them in the dash? Mine do.
I shortened the square U-clamp to grab my thicker panel.

I agree with the coarser grits. All that elbow grease and superfine grits isn't required for most finishes. My 2 favorite grit is 80 & 180. 80 is borderline to filling with epoxy resin, knock the tops off with 180 and you can go straight to clear resin.For paint jobs I stop at 320. I don't go finer ...

That’s what I figured. Thanks for the reply. Next question- love the “pearl” finish that automotive paint has. Want to do something like that below the water line. Will Be on a lift in back yard so will see below the water line all the time. Anyone use an automotive paint product on fiberglass belo...

575 lbs for $2400 equals $4.10/lb , it’s like buying a bunch of ground beef. I went with the 351 long block with GT40 heads, 285 hp.

I'm glad to hear Gayle is able to pass the torch to another, and keep the plans alive and available. Josh wants to keep the forum going and that is good news.

yep, fingers crossed,

No, the other way around.
I bought a donor I/O boat, removed the engine, sold off all the I/O stuff, and made myself a straight inboard.

I converted my inboard 3.0L from a I/O. all that midsection/lower unit/steering crap is heavier than you think. I weighed that crap, and I weighed the strut/rudder/shaft/Velvetdrive also. I was shocked what I found out.

I saw that also. But I cannot visualize the bottom and sides in the front. there will be little to no angle between them. I just poured got water over towels on the chine to"steam" the twist. I will let you know haw that goes. Oh, there is a 'transition joint' that happens. you can search it on the...

Hi, I also looked at slither webpage, yes, the chine does look like it is high on the stem. I hesitated a bit before I chimed in, I'll post this bullet points from empirical data of my own build and reading others . your chine notch on #4 looks spot on, assuming all rest are correct as well .it look...

Putting in relays seems to add to complexity, ...
