Finished the hood strap, cleaned up the e box, ended up sand blasting the inside to get all of the corrosion out. Assembled that and put wire loom on some of the cables. Put the motor in, mocked up the pipe water box and gas tank. Got the motor aligned. I bought some equipment alignment shims from mcmaster Carr that worked out really well and were only $26 for an assortment pack. Previously the motor was shimmed with some homemade pieces of sheet metal. Now the pipe water box exhaust hoses and tank are installed. The tank fits very tight. I actually heated up the water box Side of it and pushed it in a little but it clears the battery tray and the pipe. I did have to slot out the battery tray holes a bit tho. Cut in the diy internal fill and sealed it with 5200. Ran all of the water and fuel lines. Still need to finish wiring the bilge pump, run primer bulb fuel lines, make a hand pole pad, finish turf inside foot holds, and figure out what im going to do with the ride plate
